Album Description

You could characterise Florian Ross' latest endeavour as "new bottles, old wine." He decided to pay homage to the songs from the Great American Songbook after releasing numerous albums of original compositions. The objective was to produce vibrant, modern arrangements that retain or build upon the original melodies without dismantling them. This keeps those wonderful tunes true to their original intent while allowing Ross' compositional language to unfold. "Tunes & Explorations" is exactly what it sounds like: a journey into familiar territory using an unfamiliar path.
