- Mozart Jazz Trio
The trio treats Mozart’s dance impulses as the bridge into jazz, so marches, rondos, a Ländler and the Turkish finale sit naturally beside the concert works.
Several sonatas return in more than one movement, making the record more coherent than its cheerful pot-pourri title suggests.
