Michael Wertmuller - Shlimazl (Vinyl)

Swiss composer Michael Wertmüller's Shlimazl is a bold and ambitious live recording that captures a truly singular musical event. Recorded on October 1, 2023, at the Musica Festival Strasbourg in Saint-Louis, France, the work brings together a symphony orchestra and big band in a sprawling, polymetric composition that defies stylistic boundaries.

Drawing on the rich tradition of the big band while reinventing it within a symphonic context, Shlimazl is a work of remarkable depth and complexity. Wertmüller weaves the two ensembles into a single virtuosic organism, creating what has been described as a transcendence of perceived musical time — making this a compelling and intellectually rewarding listen for fans of contemporary jazz and modern classical music alike.
