Randy Waldman - 1998 - Wigged Out
[Português] Este foi o primeiro disco do brilhante pianista norte americano Randy Waldman. O projeto teve a participação de grandes nomes do jazz contemporâneo, a frente o primoroso trio formado por Waldman, Patitucci e Colaiuta, com a participação de Freddie Hubbard, Arturo Sandoval, Michael Brecker e outros grandes instrumentistas. A ideia de se fazer "clássico in jazz" não foi novidade, mas interessante a ser observado foi a forma como Waldman rearranjou essas famosas composições de Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Beethoven e Rachmaninov, por exemplo, realizando um belo diálogo entre as harmonias do jazz e da música clássica, misturando com a variada rítmica contemporânea tudo com muito bom gosto e beleza.
