Inspired by arrangements from the 8-Bit Big Band, Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn, Jazz Man Like Tchaik is all about taking well-known music by Tchaikovsky and recontextualising it in different genres of jazz. It also explores how the oboe and cor anglais can be used in a jazz context, despite not being traditional instruments of this genre. The project aims to blend both classical and jazz genres by combining recognisable melodies written centuries ago with extended harmony and improvised solos.
