Album Notes & Community Reviews

Austrian composer and flugelhornist Franz Koglmann explores the complex intersection between modern classical composition and large-scale jazz orchestration on 'Cantos I-IV'. Highly influenced by the poetic structure of Ezra Pound, the suite meticulously weaves moments of stark avant-garde dissonance directly with swinging, highly structured brass arrangements. The project is heavily celebrated as a masterpiece of European Third Stream jazz.
