Bands & Projects:
  • - With contrabassist Jack Gregg and drummer Steve Phillips trio "Three Wheel Drive". Three expatriates (US and Armenia) who choose to live in Lebanon they have 7 years of playing together and many songs behind them. Since, they have made a unique place for themselves in the Beirut Music World by being unclassifiable and incorruptible. You can hire them but you can not buy them. 'Visiting Jazz Greats like Larry Coryell, Charles Davis, Melissa Walker, Joe Lee Wilson and Tex Allen play with "Three Wheel Drive" and go back to New York to spread the word among musicians that there was a World Class rhythm section in Lebanon.' - LebJAZZ.NET

 

  • - "Perfect Match" or "Blue Note Cafe Band". Revolutionary band, which first started major changes in Lebanon's jazz music scene. Arthur's re-arranged standards "One by one" by Wayne Shorter, "Freedom Jazz Dance" by Eddie Harris, "Mambo Influenciado" by "Chucho" Valdes and Gershwin's "Summertime" not only became a Lebanese favorite Jazz Anthems, but also has raised eyebrows among visiting stars like Larry Coryell, Alphonse Mouzon and Steve Potts.

 

  • - "A.S.T. - Arthur Satyan Trio" performing original compositions and arrangements. Mixture of Latin and modern-funk rhythms reflects the land where streets and homes switch from Miles Davis to Joe Zawinul, from Komitas to Wayne Shorter and Arthur Satyan.
