Is it Classical? Is it Jazz?

You need to hear the Impromptu Op. 66, No. 22 by Nicolai Kapustin.

This artist plays beautifully- but it's not a pure jazz sound. That's OK with me, but after hearing Kapustin play it I almost miss the cold, deep soul of jazz, she sounds like she plays with the fire and touch of a classical artist by comparison. I love the music around :50-:60
To hear what I mean, Kapustin himself sounds way more like the jazz player he is here.
Cool piece! I really enjoy composers who blend the jazz with classical traditions.

Enjoy!!!
