A fusion of Chopin and jazz - the aesthetics of elegance and improvisation.
A masterpiece by a Romanian master. A unique work that beautifully combines classical and jazz.
"Chopin Jazz" is a unique jazz album by Romanian pianist Eugen Cicero. Taking Chopin's famous melodies as his subject matter, he gives innovative arrangements through skillful improvisation, and is highly praised by both jazz and classical music fans. It is a work that combines elegance, intelligence, and playfulness, and can be said to be a pioneering attempt in an era when the word "crossover" was not yet common.
