I will write one review of the 4 Klazz Brothers albums, and place it in each of the review columns.

What a great idea to latinize or cubanize, classical, opera, and jazz standards. I had to buy all 4 because each had something to offer. The integration of latin with classical, for most (not all), was seamless. It sounds like the pieces were written to be played this way.

The intros and exits were more the actual "tune" recognizable by classical lovers, while the middle had the super jazz improvizations. Slower pieces were slow rumba-bolereo, romantic sounds. Faster ones were chacha-mambos.

The "Mozart meets" and "Classical meets" had more fitting integrations of the, really not so different styles. Most of the "Opera meets" were not as a good a fit - really quite a stretch in some cases. The "Jazz meets" of course went perfectly, since it was already jazz, just played with someone elses take on it.

Being a lover of all 3 genres, it is a fantastic collection of music. It also gave me additional musical insites of the original classical pieces.

Now I await their treatment of JS Bach in a new album they don't yet know they are going to make - hint hint.

Good album from the fellows who gave us Classic Meets Cuba. I expected more diversity however this was stila well rounded and enjoyable listen. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys cuban music with a twist. well worth it!
