Air is the latest release by acclaimed chamber orchestra London Concertante. One of the tracks from their forthcoming classical/jazz crossover album (entitled, Re-imagined) due out in the autumn, Air is a stunning original track written by celebrated jazz pianist and composer David Gordon. The track takes its inspiration from J S Bach’s prelude XIV from the second book of the Well Tempered Keyboard, which is mapped directly, motif for motif, bar for bar, onto this piece written by David.

Featuring the rich strings of London Concertante, the Spanish tinge of the original is given a mariachi twist with inclusion of trumpet legend Byron Wallen’s plaintive, sometimes explosive, trumpet playing.
