The Rite Of Spring

About

Long before Wynton Marsalis decided he could play classical chops as well as the real long-haired interpreter, even though he was a jazz musician, Hubert Laws and his partners at CTI gave it a run with a jazz twist, and for the most part with a far more adventurous repertoire. For whatever reason, flutist Hubert Law, known for his soul-jazz deftne, decided to take on handful of classical texts with the help of Bob James on piano, harpsichord, and electric piano; bassist Ron Carter, who doubles on cello; and drummer Jack DeJohnette, along with percussionists Airto Moreira and David Friedman, a pair of classical guitarist, and a trio of bassoonist. The program ranges from Debussy's lovely "Syrinx" and Faure's "Pavane," to Stravinsky on the title cut and two movements of the third Brandberg Concerto by Bach.
