The two traditions meet not as contrasts but as kindred forms: jazz infuses baroque with rhythmic vitality and improvisational freedom, while baroque lends jazz its structural depth and ornate richness. The stage opens up to reveal a German-French ensemble:\u003cbr\u003etwo wind players of French origin and the three members of a German rhythm section, all of them happy to be united through music.\u003cbr\u003e CD in six-page digipack.\u003cbr\u003e 180g vinyl LP includes digital download.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr\u003e01.
