Florian Ross: Architexture - Music For Jazz Quartet And Wind Ensemble

Described as a 'musical explorer', Florian Ross effortlessly spans the realms of improvised and composed jazz in a dazzling variety of formats, with music that comes from a deep synthesis of heart and mind. Architexture is Ross's response in music to architects and buildings all over the world. From sumptuous Rococo decoration, to the 'Garage Houses' of US suburbia, and from the playful/serious style of Gaudí to the modern utopia of Niemeyer's Brasilia - Architexture weighs light and shade, symmetry and asymmetry in a unique fusion of rhythm, colour and lyrical invention.
