Miles, Monk & More
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
This 1999 recording features the Vienna Art Of Brass ensemble tackling compositions by Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk. The group merges jazz sensibility with Austrian classical and brass traditions, creating an intriguing hybrid. The reed-less arrangements emphasize horns and brasses, giving familiar melodies a grand, orchestral treatment while preserving the harmonic language of their sources. Monk's angular complexity and Miles' cool restraint are reinterpreted through a European brass lens. The result honors the originals while offering fresh perspective, sophisticated yet accessible. It's a unique local production capturing Vienna's own dialogue with American jazz innovation.
