Metropole Orkest Strings with The Ghost, The King & I - The Inventors (2015)

Dutch orchestral jazz based on classical compositions, from the string section of the world s leading pop and jazz orchestra! This first album in the MO Blue series features pieces based on compositions by Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, and J.S. Bach. This adventurous merger of jazz and orchestral music, perhaps best described as chamber jazz, features classical melodies mixed with virtuosic jazz solos and groovy rhythms.

One of the most pliant large ensembles on the planet. –All About Jazz
