This project reflects a contemporary perspective on Franz Joseph Haydn's music,performed in new arrangements as a jazz trio. Throughout the reinterpretations, the essence of the original melodies has been respected. We are convinced that, due to Haydn's personality and well-known sense of humor, he would be pleased with this work, recorded 200 years after his death, commemorating this anniversary.Personnel:Rayko León, piano and arrangementsWolle Aretz, drumsLeandro Ojeda, bassInvited artist:Mario Rivero, bass on themes 5 and 8Recorded live on 19 February 2009 at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain)
