AESOP – Was It a Dream
August 29, 2025Renowned pianist Cristian Vivaldi breathes new life into De-Phazz’s beloved lounge classic ‘Jazz Music’ with a masterful solo piano interpretation. Vivaldi’s nuanced artistry transforms the original’s mellow groove into an elegant, emotionally rich soundscape—highlighting both the timelessness of De-Phazz’s jazz-infused vibes and the expressive power of the piano.
`The song is catchy in a subtle and tasteful way, and I felt it had a strong structure that translated beautifully into a neoclassical context`, says Argentinean Cristian Vivaldi about `Jazz Music` from the De-Phazz album `Godsdog`. However, the Argentinian pianist, whose piece `Sunrise` has been played over 20 million times on Spotify, initially struggled. `I sat down at the piano several times trying to find the right mood, but it just didn’t click. Then, early one morning, everything suddenly started flowing`, Vivaldi reports. The result on `De-Phazz presents Octaves` speaks for itself: With the help of exceptionally smooth flowing arpeggios, he has transformed the De-Phazz original into the soundtrack of an imaginary classic film that one would love to see.
