Classics meet Jazz 2

14 famous themes from music history, from Bach to Offenbach, each with its own jazzy interpretation - just as in Vol. 1. This edition shows that ''classical music'' and jazz are not that distant from one another after all. Just imagine Grieg''s Piano Concerto played on a bandoneon - and you have got the perfect tango! Brahms'' Hungarian Dance No. 1 is also ideal as a salsa (''Hungarian Salsa No.1''). Schubert''s trout suffers a terrible fate, here it may continue to live in a lively ragtime (''Fish Rag''). With Mozart, the night is merry and friendly. but ''A Black Night Music'' shows its dark side.
