In an era of artistic decadence and television based talent shows so clearly absent of what they advertise to contain (any talent at all), one such young talent has largely gone unnoticed. The fact is, that most people in this country cannot deal with the breadth of artistry and facility that Eldar Djangirov is showing at the ripe age of 19!

Ok, I'll be fair, Eldar does lack the polished touch of pianists such as Teddy Wilson or Tommy Flanagan, but that is nearly all that stands between him and the greatest ever! Let's face it, it doesn't make us feel good about our own abilities and accomplishments to compare ourselves to Eldar right? But that's not the point. It's time for America to deal with freaks like Eldar, and the God given talent that trumps our own pragmatic accomplishments. The truth is Americans live for this dream that "we can do anything we put our minds to". That is just not so. There is almost a hint of blasphemy in that statement. No, the truth is, almost no one could do what Eldar is doing, even if they devoted their first 18yrs of life to the task. It takes more than just willpower alone. It takes a gift, that is unique to the individual.
