Debussy - Arabesque No. 1 (Jazz Version) by Jacob Dupre

Back in the day, I used to have fun surprising my classical teachers with this kind of thing. 😅 I developed this one enough that I had to share! It’s fascinating to use classical repertoire as a springboard for improvisation and explore the harmonic connections between classical composers and the jazz musicians who followed—they’re often not that far apart. #jazz #piano #classicalmusic #debussy #transcription

That's really great music, and fun! There was mutual love between the impressionists and the jazz musicians in the early 20th century...a harmonic brotherhood of sorts. Nice work!

Great arrangement, a true jazz applied to classical music, not like other titles claims.

nice arrangement, man! i'm gonna wait till this video blow up 🎉 keep up the good work

[friedemannhahn]

Good stuff! Reminds me a lot of Jacques Loussier's takes on classical pieces. He covered the same piece on his Debussy album. His approach was rather meditative compared to yours. But I really enjoy the exuberance of the spiced up harmonies you're adding in here!
Now... how about we hear some Bach covers of yours? 😊

[henrychess]

I'm not a fan of this weird classical-jazz hybrid but the solo starting from 0:34 is beautiful 😍
