«Jazz meets classic» double bill: the Pianist Jacques Loussier with his trio presented – besides other pieces – Ravel’s «Bolero» for the first time. Herbie Mann, the virtuoso on the transverse flute, inspired the audience with his programme from Ravel’s time period. A very colorful double concert full of surprises for jazz, classic and musical fans!

St. Martin’s Church was the perfect setting for the subtle, symphonic jazz concert with master flautist Herbie Mann and the «Basel Sinfonietta». This rare appearance in Europe gave this Basel performance an air of exclusivity, especially since it was the orchestral world premiere of his new CD.
