Description
This edition presents 14 renowned themes from music history, spanning from Bach to Offenbach, each reimagined with a jazzy twist, similar to Vol. 1. It illustrates the surprising closeness between classical music and jazz. For instance, envision Grieg's Piano Concerto performed on a bandoneon, transforming it into an exquisite tango. Brahms' Hungarian Dance No. 1 lends itself perfectly to a salsa rendition, aptly titled 'Hungarian Salsa No. 1.' Schubert's trout, facing an unfortunate fate, finds new life in a spirited ragtime piece called 'Fish Rag.' While Mozart's compositions typically evoke a cheerful atmosphere, 'A Black Night Music' reveals a more somber aspect. The accompanying CD offers examples and suggestions for interpreting these pieces.
