Chroma from Chroma by Petros Klampanis, Gilad Hekselman, Shai Maestro, Keita Ogawa, John Hadfield +strings ensemble

"Petros Klampanis’ Chroma, with four violins, two violas and two cellos, is an example of how creative jazz thinkers now incorporate string sections into their projects—as unique complexes of colors and textures, arrayed dynamically. Depending on whether the players in a given project are improvisers, strings can be interactive as well as dynamic. But even when (as on Chroma) the strings stay with notated parts, a talented composer-arranger like Klampanis can make them sound spontaneous, alive in the moment."
