"Bach and jazz - this connection has
existed for more than 60 years and is
no longer new - but can always be
rediscovered. And with "About
Bach", the latest LP release from the
Black Forest Sounds vinyl edition is
another musical and sonic treat for
music lovers, recorded by Johannes
Mössinger in the Ensemblehaus of the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra on a
Steinway D grand piano.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
is indisputably one of the most
important composers of all time. His
music appeals to many musicians,
but especially to jazz musicians. At
the latest since the Frenchman
Jacques Loussier established the
crossing of boundaries between two
musical worlds with "Play Bach" at
the end of the 1950s, many jazz
musicians have focused primarily on
J.S. Bach and have reworked him
again and again...
Here is another masterpiece,
recorded by Freiburg pianist
Johannes Mössinger, who has (also)
been working with Bach for many
years. Born in 1964, the musician has
been active on the jazz scene for
almost 30 years, but has made
excursions into classical music and
has repeatedly recorded Bach
themes for many years. In jazz, he
has worked with numerous US
musicians such as Joe Lovano, Joel
Frahm, Don Bradon and Adam
Nussbaum to present his own
compositions.
Mösssinger has his very own view of
Bach and combines Bach with his
own music: "Just as Mössinger
transforms Bach, the music also
transforms the listener: A walk
through a carefully curated
juxtaposition that sharpens,
challenges and changes our view of
Bach. Bach has moved, has been
moved, has changed his spatiality
and changed position. In the end, a
different light shines on it," writes
musician and author Maria Reich in
the liner notes to the LP.
