Matt Herskowitz - Mirror Image [CD]

With Mirror Image, Matt wanted to explore what's become an increasingly prominent theme in his playing and composition: the reconciliation of his jazz and classical sides, this album finally brings them together, both old and new, in a very organic way. Whether it's through Tribute to John Coates, the Ravel Concerto or Satie's Gnossienne no. 1, it's all one cohesive sound, one style coming from two worlds that seem opposed but are not; Classical and Jazz have cross-pollinated since the early 20th century, and their musical histories have reflected that mutual inspiration ever since.
