PRESS RELEASE

“The piece Insensetaz (How Insensitive) (Jobim / De Moraes) carries a special meaning for me. I would like to dedicate it
to my parents, in gratitude for their eternal love.”
– Eyran

For immediate Release: Pianist Eyran Katsenelenbogen Releases Highly Anticipated New Solo Album, Outstandards


Attention: Jazz Broadcast and Printed Media

Andover, MA – June 1, 2019 – Eyran Records announces the release of master jazz pianist Eyran Katsenelenbogen’s highly anticipated new solo album, Outstandards.

 

“I would like to thank the wonderful students at the New England Conservatory Preparatory School for inspiring many of the pieces on Outstandards and their arrangements.” – Eyran


In Outstandards, pianist Eyran Katsenelenbogen presents jazzy renditions of classical cornerstones such as Für Elise (Beethoven) and Mozart’s Piano Sonata in C major alongside jazz classics such as Tea for Two (Youmans / Caesar) and Cheek to Cheek (Berlin). Katsenelenbogen also revisits on Outstandards Chick Corea’s Armando’s Rhumba, which was released on his CD Solotude in 2005 and delivers an intimate performance of Insensatez (How Insensitive) (Jobim / De Moraes). Prior to their recording for the CD, all the pieces on Outstandards were performed extensively during Eyran’s concert tours in China in 2014 and 2016. 

 

“The piece Insensetaz (How Insensitive) (Jobim / De Moraes) carries a special meaning for me. I would like to dedicate it to my parents, in gratitude for their eternal love.” – Eyran

 

Praise for Eyran Katsenelenbogen:

All About Jazz: Perhaps Katsenelenbogen is most in league with [Art]Tatum for this fact: he sets the bar towards which other pianists must strive. – Jay Deshpande

Cadence: He is a passionate man who feels deeply, and he has the talent to express those feelings through his playing. You can not help but be moved by his performance. – Frank Rubolino

jazzreview.com: We are truly fortunate that Eyran has chosen to display his talents as both a performer and teacher, and hopefully to bestow them upon listeners and students alike for many years to come. – Andrea Canter


Since 1989 Eyran has been working on his book, One Time, a philosophical diary spanning three decades of his life.

Quotes from One Time by Eyran Katsenelenbogen:

“Music is the Language of Love” (2016)

”When the world would sink under your feet, art shall remain the sole island on which you will stand” (2017)

“Musical virtuosity is not the ability to play something fast, but to learn it slowly” (2018)
