As part of the year-long celebration of Nonesuch Records' 60th anniversary, we launched Nonesuch Selects, a video series in which artists stop by the Nonesuch office, pick some of their favorites from the music library, and share a few words on their choices. Following the first three videos by Mary Halvorson, Timo Andres, and Vagabon, pianist/composer Tigran Hamasyan—whose latest album, StandArt, was released on Nonesuch in 2022 and is currently touring the US—stopped by and chose music by Brad Mehldau Trio, Richard Goode, Pat Metheny & Brad Mehldau, Kronos Quartet, and Fleet Foxes. You can watch it below and subscribe to the Nonesuch Records YouTube channel for all the latest:
StandArt is Tigran Hamasyan’s first album of American standards. Produced by the pianist/composer, the album includes songs from the 1920s through the 1950s by Richard Rodgers, Charlie Parker, Jerome Kern, and others, plus a piece Hamasyan improvised with his bandmates—bassist Matt Brewer and drummer Justin Brown—and trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire. Other special guests include saxophonists Joshua Redman and Mark Turner. You can hear it and get it here.
You can hear a playlist of music from Tigran Hamasyan's Nonesuch Selects on Spotify and Apple Music here. For more on this year's Nonesuch 60th anniversary events, click here.
