| The Dutch trumpet player Gerard Kleijn and his group are flirting - flirting in earnest, and quite remarkably, with the music of Erik Satie (1866-1925). For their new cd the Gerard Kleijn Group has made an intense study of the life and works of this French composer, which has inspired them to create a unique and captivating jazz interpretation of his music. Satie had his own sound, which he created largely outside the rules of his musical contemporaries. And he was at the top of his fame at the time when jazz was being born. This cd unites the music of Satie with jazz, providing a fascinating look at the miraculous and peculiar music of Satie. release: 11/2006 Gerard Kleijn - trumpet and flugelhorn Frank Amsallem - piano Paul Berner - double bass Joost Kesselaar - drums |
