Lucian Ban & John Hebert - Enesco Re-Imagined (2010)

“

The combination of jazz and classical music isn't a new thing. Jazz musicians have looked to classical music for inspiration for a long while. Look no further than Charlie Parker and Igor Stravinsky or John Lewis with the Modern Jazz Quartet. There was even a defined movement in the Third Stream. It is the more recent efforts to reinterpret classical works that have proven the mettle of jazz musicians/composers. Lucian Ban and John Hébert provide an astounding example while creating a distinct and original musical expression based on the framework of another on Enesco Re-Imagined
