Jazz Arrangements of Classical Compositions!
Gifted pianist Steve Kuhn has enjoyed a career revival since signing with Venus Records. Pavane for a Dead Princess--a daring jazz rendition of classical compositions--has become huge in Japan and is considered one of Kuhn's definitive works. Kuhn's soft and clever piano turns selections by Ravel, Chopin, Grieg, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Debussy, Brahms, and Faure into exciting jazz. The treatment is so effective that one might not realize at first that these were originally classical pieces.
"...anyone who loves both musical worlds will appreciate Steve Kuhn's thoughtful arrangements of music that has easily stood the test of time." -Ken Dryden, allmusic.com
