The concert piece Paganini Jazz by Faz?l Say, which was inspired by classical, modern and jazz styles, is reminiscent of the music of such greats as Scott Joplin, Art Tatum, Gershwin and Bernstein, and was originally designed as a charming encore work (1988); following the appreciative response of music lovers and, in particular, that of music critics, it was transformed over a perion of time into a more substantial work for piano. Briefly, the piece was rewritten and expanded a number of times between 1988 and 1995. We can evaluate the work as having taken its inspiration from Paganini's renowned "24th Capriccio", transforming it into "variations on jazz" requiring virtuoso rendition as well as being a creation open to the addition of improvisations and a variety of arrangements. Throughout music history a number of composers have written various works inspired by the "24th Capriccio". We can count among them Liszt, Brahms, Rachmaninov and Lutoslavski. In Say's work, however, a different aspect must be noted: the composer is prepared to add various "developmental passages" and "transitional improvisations" while interpreting this work in concert. Furthermore, when the work is considered as a short encore piece, it is abbreviated in a manner deemed suitable by Say.

Le Paganini Jazz (1988-98) de Faz?l Say, sur le thème du célèbre Caprice Nr. 24 en la mineur pour violon solo de Paganini, s'inspire aussi bien du style de la musique classique que de celui de la musique moderne ou du jazz, et évoque des noms comme Scott Joplin, Art Tatum, George Gershwin et Leonhard Bernstein. Initialement conçue en 1988 comme pièce de rappel, l'uvre, au vu des nombreuses réactions des mélomanes et des critiques, a été plusieurs fois développée et retravaillée entre 1988 et 1995.
