AREA 31
David Chesky
SACD288

Area 31 is a new modern downtown Manhattan chamber ensemble of all young star virtuosos. These two concertos infuse the European concerto tradition with its American parallel, the jazz soloist interacting with a rhythm section. This exciting fusion of jazz and classical is a compelling new direction for David Chesky. Violinist Tom Chiu is a very well known violin player with the Flux Quartet. Jeffrey Khaner is principal flutist with the Philadelphia orchestra.
