James Walker and Free Flight: Threads (2012) [Blu-ray 3D]

Free Flight was fathered by Jim Walker in 1980 as a jazz outlet from his career as principal flutist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

Their sound has turned jazz fans into classical buffs and classical audiences toward jazz. From Bach to Beethoven to Miles Davis to the Beatles, their “eclecticism without compromise” can be heard not simply piece by piece, but within each composition, blending together flavors of classical, jazz, new age and rock music into a palatable whole.

Whatever legitimacy the label “Crossover” holds for their sound, in performance Free Flight always encourages the crossover of audiences' tastes no matter what the setting.

Grammy nominated flutist Walker leads this classical/jazz crossover ensemble in tunes written by Mozart, Gershwin and Pezzone. This disc contains the complete video of the session shot in HD and presented in 3D! It is compatible with 2D equipment. The music was recorded in HD-Audio at 96 kHz/24-bit PCM. Users can select from 3 different audio mixes. This is a Blu-ray-Audio/Video disc. One side is the Blu-ray-Audio format and the other side is the Blu-ray-Video disc.
