Stravinsky, Zappa or Gil Evans, composers in general, "who are themselves confused about their influences, who are simply full of curiosity and not afraid to venture into new territory" inspire the work of Christoph Cech, winner of the (musical) Art prize of the Republic of Austria and significantly involved in the Austrian big band scene for over thirty years. With his seventeen-piece jazz orchestra project, put together for the Porgy & Bess in his hometown of Vienna, the composing pianist brings his musical visions to life in an exciting and sonorously satisfying way.
