A to Z of Jazz
Fine Arts Brass
Jazz has been described as America’s ‘classical’ music and ‘its most enduring contribution to contemporary culture’. It probably originated in Africa and certainly reached America through the slave trade. Whatever its beginnings jazz became a vibrant genre and one that constantly reinvented itself. This CD is a brief overview of that development through the 20th century.

Prima Voce - Leo Slezak (1873 - 1946)
Slezak possessed a large, dramatic voice with a naturally high placement which was capable of sustaining the most testing roles in the great German Romantic, French and Italian repertoire. An extended range and seemingly limitless power resemble traits associated with Tamagno.
