More than a century after Romanian composer George Enescu was first introduced to American audiences, Romanian New York-based pianist Lucian Ban, together with renowned jazz bassist John Hebert, takes on Enescu’s music legacy in this daring contemporary jazz re-imagination of some of his unique works for a stunning group of New York jazz iconoclasts, featuring: Mat Maneri, viola; Joyce Hammann, violin; Tony Malaby, tenor sax; Taylor Ho Bynum, trumpet, Lucian Ban, piano, orchestrations; Badal Roy, tablas; John Hebert, double bass, orchestrations; Gerald Cleaver, drums.
Working at the edge of classical, jazz, downtown improv and contemporary music, the ensemble re-orchestrates and re-interprets scores from George Enescu’s impressive body of work – from the famous “3rd Sonata for Violin & Piano in Romanian Folk Character” to the unfinished “4th Symphony” to the various chamber pieces and the larger orchestral works of this amazing 20th century Romanian composer.
