Downes is one of a very few classical performers to have realized that concert music with influences from jazz and blues or spirituals makes a natural mix with pieces that actually are jazz or blues or spirituals. Thus the program includes such interesting meeting points as an Art Tatum realization of Irving Berlin's Blue Skies and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's fantasy-like Deep River. Perhaps even more fascinating is the depth to which Downes gets into the body of concert music in this vein, so long suppressed by the modernist diktat.
