Students of the Conservatories of Ghent, Tilburg and Maastricht directed by Wolfgang Braun.
Miles Davis ‘So What’ meets Claude Debussy’s ‘Arabesque No. 1’.
Impressions of a Blue Kind is an exceptionally ambitious project. Six composers — students of Wolfgang Braun of the Conservatory of Maastricht — wrote pieces for orchestra, joining an impressive thirty musicians. Their task was to blend “Kind of blue” (the most famous Miles Davis recording from 1959) together with Impressionism. All themes will not be merely arranged: the composers used improvised recorded material, such as Bill Evans’ piano accompaniments, beside own ideas to develop something new and colourful.
