Jazzin' up JS

[jazzboCR]

Jacques Louissier has had a successful 50+ year career applying all that is jazz to all that is JS Bach. His discs are released on classical, not jazz, labels and most have AMG 3-star or better ratings. Duds and missteps happen but overall, Mr. Louissier has an outstanding track record. Now one of my favorite tunes under his tutelage and one of his better albums, with AMG review appended (you attention is warmly invited to that):

Here's another group of accomplished musicians, with their take on JS Bach--Tiempo Libre.
Tu Conga Bach (Fugue in C Minor) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wEA6bJA4PY
Fuga (Sonata in D Minor) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ACwm-zBP54
Clave in C Minor (Prelude in C Minor) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRyVGaAjzEU
Timbach (prelude in D Major) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7PijrwkMY4
Kyrie (Mass in B Minor) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E3_zInBbu4 << may be too political for some.

A Latin band after all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzcpjSdh9w4
