“Jazz is a big word, it covers a multitude of sounds”，這句話，是伯恩斯坦在一個記錄“什麼是爵士樂？”所講的一段話。在同一世代古典音樂家廣為人知，伯恩斯坦一直對爵士樂的即興創新和創新精神很感興趣。以爵士樂手法演奏的古典音樂，可以在許多爵士作曲家和演奏家的經典作品的許多解釋中看到，從“Play Bach”到Duke Ellington演繹的“胡桃鉗“，還有在音樂會系列的”爵士樂在愛樂樂團“中，都可以聽到創新演奏手法的古典音樂，這進而也提高爵士樂的形象及欣賞。

這10CD唱片合輯收錄的18張特別的專輯，主要展示了爵士樂手法演奏的古典樂，及被爵士樂影響的美國現代古典音樂。其中更可以看到演奏這些音樂的爵士大手Duke Ellington，Dave Brubeck，Jimmy Giuffre，Miles Davis，現代爵士四重奏。“古典樂的爵士狂想”創造了一個偉大的新境界，你一定要收藏。
