Third Stream

I’ve always noticed how jazz and classical musicians have such mutual respect and admiration for one another – classical musicians are often revered for their awesome technique, and a jazz musician for creativity and the ability to improvise. Sometimes classical artists write and play pieces with jazz sensibilities, while jazz artists will often try their hand at classical works. Today we’ll explore the “Third Stream” where these two beloved art forms seamlessly blend. Today we have some real jazzy classics for you.
