Djivan Kasparian
Master of Duduk, a double reed instruments carved from apricot wood.
Those who had a chance to hear his playing at the Hollywood bowl a few years ago remember how soulful and meditative it can sound. It was a rare moment to be in an outdoor amphitheatre around 8,000 people who stood still, breathless, to hear every note played.
A very rare concert, just like Dizzy Gillespi's.
Will Angelinos have another chance to hear the master who is busy establishing a music school for the young generation to pass the techniques of playing this wonderful folk instrument.
Check out his records, play them, close your eyes, and dream the impossible........
