Description
Jazz versions of classical opuses date back to the 1930s. A piece titled Bach Goes to Town recorded by Benny Goodman and His Orchestra and arranged by Alec Templeton, one of the first attempts of interaction between jazz playing and Bachs style, entered the jazz annals. In Russia, Leonid Utyosovs orchestra not unsuccessfully worked with themes by Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov. The big bands of Stan Kenton and Woody Herman sometimes used themes from classical pieces in their compositions as well. In the 1950s and 1960s, those trends found development in the so-called baroque jazz. Nevertheless, by the end of the 20th century, interaction between jazz idioms and the language of academic music became in most cases a sufficiently trite trick and almost lost the flavor of novelty. However, Sergei Zhilins trios new work Tchaikovsky in Jazz. The Seasons (reworked by Yuri Markin) has shown that the idea of jazzifying classical compositions is not just alive, but also at times able to deliver surprising results.
