Primal Colors

"Primal Colors," composed by renowned jazz artist Jim McNeely, is an extraordinary collaboration between the Frankfurt Radio Symphony and the Frankfurt Radio Big Band. This album presents a groundbreaking musical exploration of colors--both visual and emotional--interpreted through the fusion of jazz and classical orchestration. Inspired by the concept of primary colors and their primal significance, McNeely extends the palette to include black and white, delving deep into the symbolic and cultural meanings of each hue. The album spans five main movements, representing black, yellow, red, blue, and white, interspersed with interludes that serve as bridges between the musical shades.
