Lucian Ban and Enescu Re-imagined

Jez Nelson presents Romanian pianist Lucian Ban and his Enescu Re-imagined octet in performance given at the 2011 London Jazz Festival.

Jez Nelson presents Romanian pianist Lucian Ban and his Enescu Re-imagined octet in performance at the London Jazz Festival. Ban has been resident in New York for the last decade and has assembled leading avant-garde musicians from the city to reinterpret the music of 20th-century composer George Enescu. The music combines elements of classical chamber music and folk-like themes with freely improvised sections featuring, among others, viola player Mat Maneri and trumpeter Ralph Alessi.
