Jazz artists in turn felt the influence of Bernstein’s innovations, with interpretations of his work recorded by such icons as Bill Evans, Dave Brubeck, Oscar Peterson, Wes Montgomery, Wayne Shorter and countless others.

To complete, the bands were arranged in such a way that different sections of the orchestra riffed among themselves, as if caucusing in different corners of the room, joining together on a song's chorus. Among the bands that exemplified the Kansas City sound were orchestras led by ...

Cohen's original version is a masterpiece of cinematic moodiness and grim delivery; its icy keyboards reflected the glacial temperatures of Cohen's detached vocal work. Melas thankfully takes a radically different approach, transforming its ...
