Watch Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey rearrange Beethoven w/ a 50 piece orchestra

After years of labor, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey's reinterpretations of Beethoven's 3rd & 6th Symphonies premiered in June as a project entitled “Ludwig." The project, which rearranged Beethoven's 3rd & 6th symphonies, was premiered alongside a 50 piece orchestra on June 12th as a headline performance at the OK Mozart Festival. Downbeat is calling 'Ludwig' “a tour de force of jazz melded with classical." Now you can catch a glimpse of the premier by watching the LUDWIG promotional short (below).
