Using Purcell’s baroque, lively opera Dido and Aeneas as a jumping off point, the jazz composer and pianist Frances Capella penned this work that is rich in different artistic idioms. Moving smoothly from the original baroque of Purcell through both jazz and ethnic passages, he challenges the traditional barriers between musical genres. It is a magnificent example of vitality in a creative process of great presence and with its own life force.
