About

Uri Caine continues his series of adaptations with Verdi's Othello. For the first time Caine arranges a dramatic work with a mixture of stage and concert elements. Verdi's operatic story is the central thread through the composition, but Uri Caine equally cites from Shakespeare's original play. Arias are juxtaposed with R 'n' B elements, BeBop and electronic sounds, but Verdi's famous melodies never lose their authenticity.

"Caine approaches the classics with a jazzman's love of improvisation and pranks. Die-hard purists may run; but Caine's frisky style wars will delight anyone with an open mind." - The Times
