NAKAMATSU,JON ROCHESTER PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA; JEFF TYZIK

Description:

Hot and energetic Nakamatsu on piano and the Rochester Orchestra conducted by jazz great Teisig, Gershwin! A collection of Gershwin’s works. The best combination of Taisic, a great conductor who is also active in the jazz world, and John Nakamatsu, a pianist of strong technique and passion, on the piano. The orchestra at the beginning of Rhapsody in Blue is perfectly set, and the famous melody on piano that follows is backed by an exquisite sense of rhythm and technique. In the Cuban Overture, the orchestra responds beautifully to Taisic’s deep reading of jazz, resulting in a magnificent performance that cannot be found anywhere else. King International
