 6moons.com - world music: Gary Burton & Makoto Ozone "Virtuosi"
Virtuosi is part of an ongoing trend that has Jazz musicians, unwittingly or deliberately, support flagging Classical music sales by delving into its repertoire.
Virtuosi spans quite the gamut, opening with Ravel's "Le Tombeau de Couperin", closing with an original Ozone number entitled "Something Borrowed, Something Blue", and meandering from this port o' call to final destination via an eclectic island hopping of Barber, Rachmaninoff, Cardoso, Gershwin, Scarlatti, Confrey, Delibes and Brahms.
With eleven forays spanning an average of six minutes each, Virtuosi is a true gem of a "neoclassical" Jazz album that builds on the nearly psychic interplay of two world-class improvisers carefully polling the Classical repertoire for the choicest cherries that would be most conducive to such a sex change.
