The ultimate musical showdown: jazz vs classical. We bring in conductor Josh Weilerstein from the Sticky Notes podcast to compare, contrast and find the common ground among these two very different schools of music.
From Duke Ellington's swinin' take on Peer Gynt to George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, we explore the tunes and the musicians blurring the line between jazz and classical. Josh, Adam and Peter each bring their own picks to the conversation, and have the best time breaking it all down.
Nerdy? Extremely. Snobby? A little. Fun? Heck yeah!
In this episode you'll hear:
- Ravel's Piano Concerto in G Major: Herbie Hancock vs the Cleveland Orchestra
- How Duke Ellington made classical standards swingin'
- Why Bartók matters to modern music
- Two very different interpretations of Rhapsody In Blue
- Brubeck’s Blue Rondo à la Turk: no improv, still loose
- Miles Davis and Gil Evans doing Adagio
Check out Josh’s insightful dives into the classical canon on Sticky Notes podcast
