„The birth of the fourth stream“

„…What is happening here is the improbable symbiosis of supposed opposites. Something new emerges from the mathematical precision of advanced Latin jazz, the passion of Latin American folk culture and the European modern understanding of harmony that draws on Schönberg and Webern. To a certain extent a further development of the “Third Stream” movement founded by Gunther Schuller, which in Schunke’s “Fourth Stream” expands the mixture of jazz and classical music with a Latin component.“
