Many performing musicians are equally at home in the worlds of classical and jazz — and in the 20th and 21st centuries, many composers have been as well. In the first hour of this episode of Extra Eclectic, Steve Seel brings us a classical-jazz dialogue, including jazz harpist Brandee Younger’s Essence of Ruby, Joel Puckett’s Trumpet Concerto and music by Thelonius Monk and Wynton Marsalis. In the second hour, it’s a sampling of modern composers saluting the giants of earlier classical eras, from Max Richter’s Vivaldi to Dobrinka Tabakova’s Fantasy Homage to Schubert.
