Jazzy Arrangements by Jean Kleeb<br />
Kleeb, Jean<br />
(*1964)<br />
Beethoven Around the World<br />
☞ BA 10931<br />
Beethoven incorporated<br />
musical influences from other<br />
countries in his works such<br />
as the names “Eccossaise” or<br />
“alla turca” demonstrate.<br />
Jean Kleeb has picked up on<br />
this idea and has developed<br />
it further; he has arranged<br />
pieces by Beethoven for piano<br />
solo in samba style, with<br />
Cuban rhythms, or with<br />
jazzy-Arabic-like scales.<br />

Beethoven had a lot in<br />
common with jazz musicians:<br />
Not only was he a fabulous<br />
pianist, he was also a master<br />
at improvisation. Just like<br />
a good jazz musician.<br />
He possessed the ability to<br />
fashion an entire musical<br />
universe from a tiny and<br />
unassuming motif. Just like<br />
a good jazz musician.<br />
In “Beethoven goes Jazz” famous<br />
themes have been partitioned,<br />
liberated, stirred up, filtered,<br />
reassembles, and merged with<br />
jazz harmonies. Improvisation<br />
is always welcome.<br />
Classic goes Jazz<br />
With a CD including all pieces<br />
☞ BA 8760<br />
Classical themes are the<br />
basis for Jean Kleeb’s varied,<br />
jazz-orientated piano<br />
arrangements. He is adept<br />
at taking the best-known<br />
baroque, classical, and<br />
romantic themes and placing<br />
them in a new light.<br />

☞ BA 8761<br />
These arrangements invite<br />
pianists to dive into the<br />
harmonic and rhythmic<br />
universe of jazz, lending a<br />
new guise to such well-known<br />
pieces as the Rondo alla turca<br />
or the second movement of<br />
the A major <strong>Piano</strong> Concerto<br />
(K. 488). The edition offers a<br />
glimpse into the art of piano<br />
improvisation and includes<br />
suggestions for the player’s<br />
own performance.<br />
