"You don't need an excuse to celebrate the music of Mozart but that his [250th] birthday on January 27 has given us this novel, thoughtfully produced hour is something all lovers of music can be thankful for."      - (The Age, Melbourne, 19 Jan 06)


"A cultured, melodious way to pass an afternoon."

Recorded live at the Sydney Town Hall, James Morrison and the SBS Youth Orchestra pay tribute to the 250th birthday of the great Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart [on 27 January 2006].   Jazz virtuoso James Morrison adapts some well-known Mozart repertoire, as well as  common garden implements, to perform the Mozart 4th Horn Concerto … on garden hose, or as he calls it, “French hose”.
