Peter Xifaras and the Budapest Symphony Orchestra Sent Jazz into the Cinematic Stratosphere with Adagio Blue

Peter Xifaras cemented his name in the canon of genre-pushing innovators with Adagio Blue, the opening track from his collaborative jazz-meets-classical release with the Budapest Symphony Orchestra. The piece allows jazz to reach new cinematic heights; the evocative charge woven through the composition is something you feel in your ribcage as much as you hear. With strings that sear and a suave saxophone that slinks with all the charisma of old-school jazz clubs, Adagio Blue whisks you into Peter Xifaras’s own aural cosmos. It’s the kind of piece that strips everything else from your mind, demanding you listen, no matter how many times you’ve hit repeat. The addition of the double bass makes Adagio Blue the definition of a big band, but even when the grandeur is in full effect, the accessibility remains. This is jazz for the purists and the adventurers alike, and sharing the platform with an esteemed orchestra enriches the genre’s roots. Renowned for his genre-defying versatility, Peter Xifaras has seen his music crowned on BILLBOARD’s Classical and Crossover charts, with accolades including The American Prize and a Telly for social impact. From SiriusXM rotations to collaborations with top artists like Justin Chart, his influence is undeniable.
