Bach: Badinerie - Baroque Meets Jazz

I have always been fascinated by how much common the baroque music and jazz have together. The passion and rhythmic flow, and even the baroque figured bass as a short of a precursor of the chord symbols in today's jazz. Both styles were a kind of revolution in their own time, and the improvisation was (is) a fundamental. It's a challenging but also very interesting to find the window for improvising on baroque themes, by keeping the original melodies and harmony changes. Before I turned to jazz in my life, I studied a long time classical music, and by making these recordings, I'm getting back the old feel of classical music while playing jazz. Thank you for watching!

Two different styles of music centuries apart blend together perfectly and manage to please our ears.

Masterful playing and conception. The melody is not lost and the rythmic feel is quite there. Lovely performance.

Eugen Cicero was actually a pioneer in doing this crossover.Anyway,great playing .

[@norastossier8650]

What a great way to enjoy both genres 👍🏻My first piano teacher specializes in baroque music. 🥰Reminds me of Matej Dzido (pianist from Austria), he does super cool renditions of classical pieces fused with jazz. Makes me wanna dance! 💃🏻🕺

Qu’est ce que tu racontes toi ? N’importe quoi ! Inculte !👎👎👎👎👎 Jacques Loussier que j’ai connu ( mon Professeur Répétiteur) est le Monstre reconnu de JS BACH !

Being fascinated by how much baroque and jazz have in common is like being surprised by how much homo erectus and homo sapiens have in common.

Bach would be proud

This is amazing! I am searching for jazz arangements of classical pieces like this for so long to play on the piano and I finally found one! Is there any sheet music or something for this piece?

[@zoltanns]

Thank you very much for your comment; I'm glad you liked my video. I only used the original Bach Badiniery classical scores, and made my simple arrangement following the original piece, and improvised on Bach's chords. I used the Latin jazz style for rhythm groove, and changed the key once for the piano solo. I don't really have sheet music, except Bach's original scores.
