Estate

Till Bronner
Duration: 06:51

Here’s an international treat: the Italian-composed, bossa nova-arranged standard "Estate" is given luxurious treatment by German trumpeter/flugelhornist Till Brönner with the Frankfurt Radio Big Band. While the piece (whose title in Italian is pronounced eh-stah'-tay), is played at a "chill" 100 bpm, it warms up the listener through several mesmerizing elements. First, conductor Magnus Lindgren has arranged for the big band beautifully with close, modern harmonic shifts in the introduction. Next, starting at 1:05, Brönner delivers the melody and first solo with choice pauses and flourishes, demonstrating why he's Germany’s biggest selling jazz artist. An added surprise is Fausto Beccalossi's accordion solo starting at 3:57 on which he vocalizes. Finally, when is the last time you heard flugelhorn and accordion trade fours?
