Mix of Jazz and Classical Music

Try Epitaph by Charles Mingus if you can find it anywhere. INCREDIBLE composition, and Third Stream, which is the fusion of classical and jazz.

	Here is something different. It is not like his usual fare and actually would be one of the softest mastering jobs I have ever heard but it needs to be for the material. Three takes of "Spiegel Im Spiegel"...(Mirror in the Mirror) , Duets of piano and violin or violincello and two of "Fur Alina" ( solo piano) Although absolutely beautiful it is depressing. When I bought it surprisingly my wife played it as well as one of my daughters and you would think it would be the last type of album to be popular here. If it had been a record would have had a few pops by now with the amount of play. Maybe there is a Salsa version out there We are all too crass here for Classical. If it does not swing, rock,disco, etc , it is usually out the door like a rocket

	You know I've heard of Sebesky but it's been many years since I've heard the music. But what came to mind first is this band called Free Flight. I don't think they've been active since the early '80's but one of the two albums I have is actually called The Jazz/Classical Union. BTW, another artist who isn't on here yet. Add them to my list.

	You might want to check out a few of Alice's albums, were she dabbles in classical music as well (notably stravinsky Rites Of Spring), but she's got it (or had it, should I say) quite easy with her classical formation, and her sometimes over-powering string arrangements. I'm investigating also Neil ardley's works, right now. Also coming to mind are Deodato's jazz arrangement of Strauss (called zathustra), debussy and ravel works in the early 70's. You'd better look under the third-stream genre to bget more indications.
	my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicted musicians to crazy ones....

	Check out our 3rd Stream genre. That is where we put artists who mix jazz with concert hall music, as well as jazz artists who write compositions.

	Porgy and Bess (Miles Davis version) is a good example.

	this one?
	I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ... Ken Burns

	I looked at a really great album by Don Sebesky I think and it was a perfect match between Jazz and Classical Music. I don't remember wich album it was but it was amazing. Is other mix like that were made?
