{"product_id":"imaginary-line-cd","title":"Imaginary Line [CD]","description":"\u003ch2\u003eJulian Joseph and Marcelo Bratke - Imaginary Line [CD]\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThis album presents four jazz composers (the classics of jazz) and four 20th Century classical composers (whose music contains a strong element of jazz) in a new and contemporary dialogue. From Thelonius Monk to Igor Stravinsky, pianists Julian Joseph and Marcelo Bratke initiate a series of imaginative exchanges be-tween the pre-established structures of classical music and the improvisation of jazz. The \"imaginary line\" is the line that divides these two apparently antagonistic worlds, but which in this case becomes a line of communication, bringing the worlds of jazz and classical closer together and allowing the listener to see the music as a unit. Marcelo has very bravely taken on the challenge of jazz with its many unique requirements and has put his trust in me to direct his vast training and considerable musical talent to create the feeling of Jazz. Julian performs for the Classical side of this project which was born out of a mutual admiration between the two musicians and early discussions about doing a Gershwin recording. The principles of Imaginary Line finding parallels between composers from each idiom and unifying them in a statement about 20th Century music and its commonality by revealing the expansive quality of the two musicians' musical choices and how that limitless influence spreads beyond neat categorization.
