The Dave Brubeck Quartet Featuring Bach Collegium Munich, Anthony & Joseph Paratore, Russell Gloyd ‎– Brubeck Meets Bach

“Brubeck left an extraordinary legacy and had a profound effect on jazz. His work on Bach is part of this legacy. He understood Bach from several vantages — first, as the consummate composer, connected to the popular and sacred music of his own time; second, as a marked influence on everything that followed, including jazz arts; third, as an inspiration for Brubeck’s own sacred music. It’s a great joy to hear Brubeck playing Bach and to hear selections of Brubeck’s own music which show JSB’s deep influence. This is one of those ten albums that I’d want to have if I were stranded on a desert island.” – Amazon.
