New World Jazz: Gershwin, Milhaud, Stravinsky, Antheil – Tilson Thomas, New World SO

True, this collection of jazz- influenced concert pieces offers some pretty established stuff — Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” Stravinsky’s “Ebony Concerto,” Milhaud’s “Creation of the World.” But it also includes some nice oddities like Hindemith’s “Ragtime” (built, like a Modern Jazz Quartet riff, on a Bach fugue), a section of David Raksin’s score to “The Bad and the Beautiful,” featuring that composer’s patented lonely-sax-from-the-next- room kind of sound, and especially, Gerge Antheil’s crazy little 1925 “Jazz Symphony,” which, though it’s neither jazz nor a symphony, is still a pretty cool specimen.
