Atmosphères is a double album by jazz pianist Tigran Hamasyan recorded over three days in May 2014 and released on ECM in September 2016.
The quartet features trumpeter Arve Henriksen, guitarist Eivind Aarset and producer Jan Bang.
[1] The producer, Manfred Eicher, brought the quartet together after hearing an excerpt on a 2013 Deutschlandfunk radio programme of Tigran Hamasyan and Jan Bang playing together at the Punkt Festival in Kristiansand.
"[5] In The Guardian, John Fordham gave this album three stars and says that "The pairing of Hamasyan and Henriksen, meanwhile, brings an unexpectedly song-based seductiveness to an all-improv session including such hi-tech experimenters as Aarset and Bang.
"[6] All music is composed by Tigran Hamasyan, Arve Henriksen, Eivind Aarset and Jan Bang except as noted
