This 2000 album features Dave Brubeck performing works by Johann Sebastian Bach in his characteristic jazz style. Released by Telarc, it combines classical pieces with modern improvisation.
The album includes versions of 'Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring' and 'Fugue in G Minor', among others. Brubeck maintains the Baroque structure but adds jazz harmonies and rhythms, creating a bridge between two musical eras.
Brubeck, who studied composition with Darius Milhaud, always showed interest in classical music. This album reflects his admiration for Bach and his ability to fuse genres without losing the essence of the original works.
