Career
Eldar started playing the piano when he was three years old. He recalls learning was "C Jam Blues" as the first thing he recalls learning. He later took classical lessons and was "discovered" at age nine by late New York City jazz aficionado Charles McWhorter, who attended a Siberia festival. The family migrated to Kansas City, mainly due to the city's jazz history. Eldar began building a name for herself as a child prodigy during his Kansas City years, appearing on Marian McPartland's NPR show, Piano Jazz, at the age of 12 years old, being the youngest performer to appear on her stage. Eldar attended Interlochen Center for the Performing Arts in his youth. Eldar attended St. Elizabeth's grade school and the Bartow School in Kansas City. The family later moved to San Diego, where he attended the Francis W. Parker School (San Diego), then to the Los Angeles area, where he attended the University of Southern California's Thornton School of Music. Eldar's playing style is characterized by his robustness and musicality. In a review by Bob Doerschuk, the downbeat: "His command of the instrument is beyond astounding." At 18, he was signed to Sony Music and released five albums. One of the albums was nominated for a Grammy. Eldar has toured extensively throughout Europe, Asia, and North America.
Eldar has been compared to Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson, Herbie Hancock, and others; however, he does appear to have absorbed McCoy Tyner's harmonic expansiveness as well as Bill Evans' lyrical sensitivity at times. Eldar performed at the Grammy Awards telecast and was lauded for the first time in many years as a jazz artist. Eldar has also been seen on CBS, Conan O'Brien, and CBS Early Show Jimmy Kimmel Live and CBS Morning Morning.
