A BLACKSMITH BROTHER RECORDING
On August 23, 2011, Nalbandian released two distinctly different albums. The first, Coup de Grace, is a live recording featuring Nalbandian on piano and drummer Han Bennink in an improvised duet setting. In both concept and art direction, Coup de Grace references Peter Brötzmann's 1968 album, Machine Gun; which also features Han Bennink.
Nalbandian is among the select few artists that have performed with Bennink in a duo format, the formidable list includes; Peter Brötzmann, Cecil Taylor, Misha Mengelberg and Myra Melford. At only 29 years old during the recording; he is also perhaps the youngest.

about
ARMEN NALBANDIAN Los Angeles, California
'' Armen Nalbandian is a truly great modern musician with an expansive understanding of the jazz tradition and then some. He
has a completely open mind and big open ears. His work on prepared fender rhodes is a revelation to someone like me who grew up hearing that instrument in the way it was used in the 70s. Armen can massage the jazz and can find the music and beauty in noise.''
