Rolf Zielke - Handel Jazz (2009) [Official Digital Download]

A refreshing view of Georg Friedrich Händel opens Rolf Zielke in its new commercial jazz project. In his approach of the Berlin pianist translated the music of the Baroque composers, whose work used to be a gateway to the world of the Commonwealth has opened, full of groove and playfulness. Handel's life resembled the dynamic of today's jazz legends, biographies - and seduces the imaginative adaptation of Rolf Zielke in the Baroque world charm with surprisingly beguiling music. The checkered history of the Halle Handel, who at 14.04. 1759 died in London is like the life of jazz legends, the richness of his music invites you to a jazz interpretation. Of the Berlin pianist Rolf Zielke arranged impressions from the different compositions of Handel's music for his trio. A promising venture: Handel's music, which is dominated by Baroque joie de vivre meets, while the rhythmic sensuality of South America and the sparkling joy of playing this rousing jazz trio. Rolf Zielke bows to the work and spirit of Handel: His arrangements illustrate - respectfully - Handel's original new music. Operatic arias, oratorio choirs and much more to rousing groove music - including virtuoso improvisations.
