VIENNA CHAMBER DIARIES plus Strings
Re-imagining Chamber Music / Re-imagining Jazz
THE CD RECEIVED A NOMINATION FOR THE AUSTRIAN JAZZ PRIZE 2024!!!
“The Vienna Chamber Diaries” is a fusion of my two musical souls – Jazz and contemporary classical music – into one project. A blend of subtle chamber music, high-energy improvisations, groove, intricate polyphonic writing with an orchestral coating.
