Take outstanding jazz soloists, some of the genre’s greatest standards and then set them in a chamber jazz format surrounded with strings and woodwinds. That is the concept behind The Jazz Kamerata. Carlos Franzetti creates a sublime chamber jazz genre, a unique hybrid sound that respects both jazz and classical idioms. His subtle and tasteful choice of classic jazz standards is the key element that makes this recording both luscious and inventive.Strings have long held a fascination for jazz musicians. From bandleader Paul Whiteman, a violin and viola player who set out to “make a lady out of jazz,” and the “Bird with Strings” sessions in the early 50s, jazz musicians have been intrigued by both the symbolism and the sound of strings – with mixed results. What sets The Jazz Kamerata apart is Carlos Franzetti.

“My experience comes from both classical and jazz – and knowing each side I know there’s a fine line you must not cross,” says Franzetti, a classically trained jazz pianist, singer, composer and arranger with active careers in jazz, pop and classical music.

This is a great late night jazz album. With Jazz Kamerata, Grammy Award® winning composer and arranger Carlos Franzetti has taken the best jazz standards from Miles Davis, Pat Metheny, Keith Jarrett, Wayne Shorter, Bill Evans and others, and arranged them for a chamber jazz ensemble, featuring strings and woodwinds in addition to bass, piano and saxophone.
