A jazz-inspired twist on Flight of the Bumblebee

Video of the Day is a jazzy twist on Rimsky-Korsakov's Flight of the Bumblebee. Peter Sparks, clarinet; Kyle Horch, saxophone and Iain Farrington, piano perform a single, The Bite of the Flumblebee from their new album, Classical Changes, which is out today on SOMM records. 

 

Featuring jazz arrangements of classical favourites, the disc also includes five African-American Spirituals and three sea shanties, and many other fascinating arrangements by the group's pianist, Ian Farringdon.

The recording is out now on SOMM and available to stream:
