Back to the Baroque Jazz Quintet in a 1985 LP




Recall in 1981 the Barok Jazz Kwintet made the 33 Mini Jazz Klub (though on this LP the word jazz is quite supplementary).  This one is a modern chamber orchestra record such as I dearly love and others, I'm sure, dearly hate.  In case you need a point of comparison, it's similar to the Peabody College album, but the first one I posted.  The last track begins with an inauspicious panting percussion syncope mess that sounds like an ancient jazz fan (as they always are now) who lost his walker and fell to the floor and is now desperately trying to activate the clapper with his arthritic fingers to call his middle-aged grandkids to help him get up again, that then luckily transforms into an interesting modern classical 'take' on swing similar to Stravinsky's Ragtime but more organically competent, especially when the piano solo at the end is included for that comparison:





Enjoy it (hopefully)...
