“Thank you to everyone that made last night’s concert a success. It was a thrill for me to celebrate the genius of Thelonious Monk as well as present the new Ethers music. The final two shows of this season’s Rhythms of Art will definitely be full of surprises and I look forward to have all of you join us for those concerts as well. I’m currently working on mixing the trio’s new recording, Manchester Born, with co-producers: Ara Nalbandian & Nino Moschella as well as preparing to record material for upcoming solo and duet projects as well. Our goal is to have the Manchester Born recording released as soon as possible. In the mean time, I hope to have a few new songs from our recent performances available on our website as well as on the Blacksmith Brother Music myspace page.” -Armen (March 23, 2007)
