Music by Alec Wilder (1907 -1980) , jazz of the 1940s for flute, oboe, clarinet, bass clarinet, bassoon, percussion, bass and harpsichord
a rare opportunity to hear the legendary octets of the American composer Alec Wilder (1907-1980). A discovery, not only for jazz lovers! The pieces have creative titles such as "neurotic goldfish", "Jack, this is my husband" or "Children met the train".
In addition to the original compositions, arrangements of his songs for the octet line-up can be heard. Arranger: Alessandro di Puccio
