I'll start with the out of print and very rare BS&T score to The Owl and the Pussycat, a farce based on the Manhoff play with a simmering blend of brass pop, hard bop, and faux Baroque. I don't even think its ever been on CD, though I have the movie.
Next would be the criminally ignored Brandenburg Gate:Revisited by Brubeck and friends Finally a personal fave since childhood, MJQ's incomparable Blues On Bach |

I have the Paul Whiteman album, Rhapsody In Blue"as well with "An American In Paris". Released as double format,( album each side of the record) It was one of my mums records. I have not played it. I kept the album though and you have piked my interest some what. Thought it might be a bit too staid for my taste. I knew to keep the record though

Remember 20th century serious composers have written pieces specifically for jazz musicians including Benny Goodman and Dave Brubeck. Worth digging out the "Jazz" album released by the conductor Simon Rattle some 20 years ago, to get some examples of these pieces. On 'Jazz' too you'll find the rarely played jazz arrangement of Gershwin's 'Rhapsody In Blue' originally made for Paul Whitemans Orchestra - I believe Whiteman and co. were the first to play 'Rhapsody'. This is a composition that has slipped into the classic repertoire with the more familiar classical orchestral arrangement. Something similar seems to have happen to Scott Joplin's rags through Joshua Rifkin's albums .

Hi,
Try Egberto Gismonti's No Caipira from the 70's ... and see if you can handle most of the album ... it is, Villa Lobos meets Samba, meets Bossa Nova, meets Jazz, meets Stravinsky ... and then ... who knows ... who cares ... it's out of this world and one of the finest things ever recorded!
You don't even need any psychedelics to enjoy it! ... and at the time I was reading Doris Lessing's "Briefing for a Descent Into Hell" ... and if you have'nt read it (quick read btw ... small novel!) ... you are cheating, but this music was like a real soundtrack for that novel!
Let's see. Terje Rypdal had some orchestral pieces that I have to listen to again, as I don't really remember them that well.
There was one other piece that I think it is an ECM album, that I have never found that is really neat ... someone wrote a piece for Chromatic Harp with an orchestra, and no, this was not Norton Buffalo, or Toots Thielmanns, and I have never found that piece ... but yeah ... it was massive and I thought that the Harp was very jazzy around the orchestra.
And my apologies, I have not kept up with ECM in the past 15 years. Edited by Moshkito - 15 Aug 2011 at 8:07pm |

Of course Blue Rondo A La Turka - with a big thank you to WA Mozart - which Keith Emerson subsequently transcribed into 4.4 for Nice. Amused by a classical fan taking some' offence hearing Hubert Laws Going Home (ex Chicago Theme album), and recognising it was a bit of Dvorak's 9th or New World Symphony - I had to remind him Dvorak had lifted a number of negro spirituals for that composition - so it was kinda going home! |

Sebesky's "Giant Box" has a great blending of Mahavishnu Orchestra's "Birds of Fire" with Stravinsky's "Firebird Suite" and Bob James has a jazzy version of "Night on Bald Mountain" on his album "One." I'm sure there are many more examples but those two come to mind immediately. Also, if you're into synthesizer-heavy covers of classics check out Tomita's work in the 70s.

I recommend Lucian Ban-Enesco Re-Imagined

I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...

I believe Dave Brubeck did some tinkering in this realm. At least the one piece I have " Elementals" (from Time Changes) mixes the two.

Perhaps it was Don Sebesky's "Giant Box"

The knower person might have a lot of George Gershwin as a classic item. I recalled Eugen Cicero because I read this thread. However, because Sean referred Hubert Laws and Deodato before, I am approaching the opinion. Perhaps, it will be able to refer from the section of Pop Jazz as well as Night On Bald Mountain and Farandole of Bob James.

Hell, even Sketches of Spain is pretty classical in nature.
John Zorn has done some classical albums |
