'Jazzine Jazz' is a contemporary jazz composition by Dutch pianist and composer Michiel Braam. The piece was composed in 2005 and premiered on November 12th of the same year at the Bimhuis in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The composition consists of four movements, each with its own unique characteristics and musical themes. The first movement, titled "Jazzine," is a lively and upbeat piece that features a driving rhythm section and intricate horn arrangements. The second movement, "Jazz," is a more subdued and introspective piece that showcases Braam's skill as a pianist. The third movement, "Ine," is a ballad that features a beautiful melody played by the horns and a delicate piano accompaniment. The final movement, "Jazzine Jazz," is a reprise of the first movement, but with a more frenetic and energetic feel. One of the defining characteristics of 'Jazzine Jazz' is its use of complex harmonies and unconventional chord progressions. Braam's unique approach to harmony gives the piece a modern and avant-garde feel, while still maintaining a strong connection to the jazz tradition. The composition also features intricate horn arrangements that showcase the individual talents of each musician. Overall, 'Jazzine Jazz' is a dynamic and engaging composition that highlights Michiel Braam's skill as a composer and pianist. Its blend of traditional jazz elements with modern harmonies and arrangements make it a standout piece in the contemporary jazz canon.
