Beethoven for Jazz Trio

I like crossover in music, if it is like here is creative and intelligent re-use and not merely old wine in new bottles. Who can do something with Jacques Loussiers "Play Bach", is also on this CD his joy have (Ode). The Beethoven's original themes played jazzy not only in rhythm and harmony, but as standards used as the basis of extended improvisations. The bärbeißig humorous Beethoven comes here in comparison to reflective melancholy in choosing a little too short.
