Description:

Jazz piano phenomenon Eldar's newest project, re-imagination brings him to a new level of artistic confidence, resulting in what will certainly be recognized as his finest release to date. Eldar's rapidly evolving personal style defines every aspect of this project, blending a bold originality with a fascinating, sophisticated new take on classic jazz standards. re-imagination takes Eldar's distinctive sound and moves it in a new direction with the help of famed producer DJ Logic, who incorporates Eldar's virtuosic playing into an expanded sonic context. Eldar also gets assistance from highly prized sidemen Ali Jackson, Jr. (drums) and Carlos Henriquez (acoustic bass), best known for their work in Wynton Marsalis' quintet.

2Obvious Technical Ability Marred By Superficial Content  Aug 14, 2009
There is certainly no disputing this young man's virtuosity. Sadly, this recording is more or less the same song rehashed over and over. It's a bit remarkable that someone with this amount of talent brings so little to the table regarding compositional depth. It's really just too much "happy face", and almost Teschian in nature. This kid should take a page from the likes of Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Brad Mehldau or even Hiromi. Hopefully he'll grow into a relevant artistic place commensurate with all that talent...

4A keyboard savant!  Feb 28, 2008
Having the mastery of exceptional keyboard speed is fine in and of itself. Eldar has this in spades. But without a sense of lyricism and rhythm creativity, this talent anomaly can wear thin quickly. Eldar's talent will not wear thin anytime in the next several decades. What a fresh star I look forward to enjoying for a long time. As good as the percussion work is by Ali Jackson, there are a couple of selections where it is a bit heavy-handed and consequently a bit distracting from Eldar's amazing presentation. Small criticism however. This CD is a joy!

4What a tallent  Feb 21, 2008
Living in KC myself i cannot believe I have not heard of eldar until just recently. Im not a true jazz or contemporary jazz fanatic but this album shows incredible potential. Granted the ballads are generic but this guy has genuine intentions in his music and hopefully he will grow into what he has the potential to be. Overall a good cd with stints of greatness.

5THE GENIUS OF ELDAR  Feb 13, 2008
Just caught a stellar live performance by Eldar in Long Beach, CA at the 'Backstage at Vault 350' Venue. What a refreshing new contribution to straight-ahead jazz! He's genuine. He's real. And he's so, so naturally talented. Not just trained, but talented! He feels what he plays. Something that I've been missing in much of the newer talent. I'm very impressed with Eldar and the young men that accompany him on bass and drums, and will purchase several copies of this CD as gifts for my true jazz friends.

5the next generation of jazz artists  Sep 14, 2007
I first saw this artist on a late night talk show and rarely do I "sit up and take notice" of such artists but this one caught my ear immediately. the CD was NOT a disappointment...it features beautiful arrangements and a nice selection of material. Everytime my CD player "hits" this CD....I sit up and take notice...it is just a wonderful!!! Nice to see the tradition of fine jazz continues.
