Kristjan Jarvi
The Absolute Ensemble
is a New York based classical-jazz ‘orchestral group’ under the baton of
Estonian-American composer and director Kristjan
Jarvi. Arabian Nights is its most
recent project which brings together Middle Eastern artists and composers like Marcel Khalife and Bassam Saba and saxophonist Daniel
Schnyder for a live performance of Eastern-tinged classical music. Or jazzy
Middle Eastern music. Depending on where you want to position yourself.
Marcel Khalife
and Jarvi are natural allies and
seem to think along similar musical lines. Some of it works better than others
but overall it is an atmospheric piece of music with some really lovely
moments.
