CLASSIC MEETS JAZZ SERIES

Mozart and Charlie Parker artwork for Wolfie Meets Charlie, a Classic Meets Jazz big band arrangement by Rolf Becker

FIRST RELEASE

WOLFIE MEETS CHARLIE

When Mozart Meets Charlie Parker

Mozart meets bebop.

Wolfie Meets Charlie takes one of classical music’s most recognizable voices and places it in the energetic, harmonically adventurous world of Charlie Parker.

Rather than simply adding a jazz rhythm to classical material, the arrangement reimagines the music through the vocabulary of bebop — with new harmonies, rhythmic interplay, ensemble writing and space for improvisation.

The result is a meeting between two musical personalities separated by centuries, but united by virtuosity, invention and an unmistakable sense of musical freedom.

Style: Fast Bebop (260 bpm)

Instrumentation: Full Big Band, featuring the Sax Section,

Soloists: Alto Sax & Trumpet
