The title says it all
by kristy.joI love this album. As a music teacher, I love sharing these versions of the classics with my students, as well as listening to them myself. John's fine keyboard technique and obvious understanding of the original pieces bump this album up several notches from being just another 'Hooked on Classics' wannabe. 'Symphony #40' is a particularly happy surprise, and the 'Canon in D' was a fun, unexpected rendition of that classic warhorse. Lots here to enjoy!
Joyful Playing
by BillPeaseYou will love this album for the pure joy of good music. The basic trio is very reminiscent of Vince Guaraldi. Clean clear piano melodies with just the right touch of bass and tasteful drumming. The style here is very much classic jazz and many of the melodies used as the basis for the arrangements are classical but as you can see from the song list, this covers a wide range of the most memorable melodies. And there are little unexpected surprises that are sure to bring a smile when you recognize a short quote from a more popular song or two.
John Stebbe's CLASSICAL JAZZ
by Paul F. PageWhen one’s name becomes a synonym representing a whole other thing, that is, perhaps, the defining moment, especially in one’s creative life. John Stebbe and classical jazz is just one of those precise equations that defy further exposition. Stebbe’s “jazz meets CLASSICAL” is a unique CD choke full [79 minutes!] of jazz piano renderings of some of classical music’s most famous (and glorious) tunes: Rossini’s William Tell Overture [The Lone Ranger Theme], Mozart’s Gm 40th Symphony, Beethoven’s “Ode To Joy” from the 9th Symphony, the Verdi “La Donna Mobile from Rigoletto, and the Swan Lake theme from Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet are among the (count ’em!) 24 selections on this disk. Along with his trio of drums, bass, and sax, Stebbe’s “reenactments” of these tunes in a contemporary jazz piano medium imbues each one with sparkling vitality and a sense of musical joy that is palpable and eminently enjoyable. The piano work is, without question, impeccable throughout, Stebbe’s fingers flying across the ivories—well, maybe they’re plastic these days—with sure abandon in a flight of memorable runs and jazz turns that’ll brighten even the gloomiest day. This is a CD to own and to play over and over again. The tunes are already ensconced in the eternal musical lexicon and Stebbe’s “take” on them will, no doubt, surely follow in short order. Beautiful writing, exquisite playing, a unique concept. John Stebbe—classical jazz: a welcome synonym to the language of great music making.
