More Details :

The Baroque Jazz Project is a unique blend between baroque themes and the world of jazz , it consist of 3 works that are written for Jazz trio (Piano, Contrabass, Drums) and an Orchestra.

Capriol Jazz Suite

Peter Warlock’s Capriol Suite for strings, was based on tunes from Arbeaus Orchesographie published in 1588. The “Capriol Jazz Suite”, While being a completely new arrangement of the same original tunes, was influenced greatly by Warlocks work. The choice of this particular suite was not casual, the unique baroque rhythms, the beautiful clear melodies, and the short and repeated musical forms seemed like the perfect material for development and improvisation.
within every movement there is an open improvisation section for the jazz trio.

The Well Tempered Unbalanced Piano

The inspiration for the work derives from the great masterpieces “The well tempered piano”by Bach.
