Since his CD debut ‘Circle of Life’ (SCCD33109) in 2013 followed by two more albums on the SteepleChase LookOut label, Turkish/Armenian pianist-composer Bedikyan has been highly acclaimed by the international critics and public alike. ’New Beginning’ marks his recent relocation from Istanbul to New York where he feels blessed to be a part of the big jazz scene. ”For improvisational music fans there is very little here not to like, flawless. An elegant yet diverse exploration of melodic possibilities. Burak Bedikyan is one of the finest artists on the horizon.” - Brent Black, criticaljazz.com on ‘Leap of Faith’ (SCCD33119)
