An album for piano and string quartet (and a few surprises along the way). Inspired by the deepening relationship with Hamburg’s Kaiser Quartett, the album re-imagines Romantic-era chamber music as today’s addictive pop.
Following his collaborations with Daft Punk and Drake, celebrated pianist and sought-after songwriter/producer Jason Beck, a.k.a. Chilly Gonzales, delivers his most daring album yet. Filled with stunning arrangements and clever homage, Chambers finds Gonzales indulging his love for blurring genre lines by marrying modern pop to Romantic-era chamber music. While the hypnotic pop melodies of “Switchcraft” are inspired by chord progressions from Juicy J, “Sample This” pays tribute to Rick Ross by converting a Southern rap rhythm into epic flurries of white-knuckle violin.
