Randy Waldman


Randy Waldman - 1998 - Wigged Out












[PortuguêsEste 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.

The idea of making "classic in jazz" was nothing new, but interesting to note was how Waldman rearranged these famous compositions by Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Beethoven, Rachmaninov for exemplo, making a beautiful dialogue between the harmonies of jazz and classical music, mixing with the varied contemporary rhythmic everything with very good taste and beauty.
