Product Overview
Grigoryan Brothers - Distance (CD ALBUM) ABC Classics are thrilled to announce the reissue of three albums by acclaimed Australian guitarists Slava and Leonard Grigoryan. Distancewas the fourth duo release from the Grigoryans, and reveals their love of jazz and improvisation. The album title hints at a theme of geographical distance, borne out by the varied and far-flung homelands of the musicians involved here: US jazz icon Ralph Towner, Austrian guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel, Australia's own Nigel Westlake, Brazilian guitarist Paulo Bellinatiand England's William Lovelady. But this album also hits a little closer to home: the brothers' parents Edward and Irina Grigoryanperform on this recording, as do compositions by some of Australia's finest contemporary composers in Jeremy Alsop andShaun Rigney. The GrigoryanBrothers, individually and as a duo, are counted amongst the finest musicians of their generation. Between them, they have clocked up an incredible 21 ARIA Award nominations and their recording and performing careers Üand popularity Ücontinue to flourish.
