J. S. Bach - Fugue n.2 in C Minor BWV 847 from Well-Temperered Clavier I- Jazz-Voices Transcription

[DaveyL1954]

J S Bach, the greatest Jazz writer of all time! Vive la belle France.

[martinvoet]

Sounds happy. Bach would have liked it too 

[Eneru89]

in '70s life was beautiful, now sucks

[mairzyd]

Love the singing, hate the drums



[AxelVekemans]

i'm okay with the drums, not so much the double bass

[kikiubovilla]

@AxelVekemans i think it is a voice... a good singer. not a double bass,

[5619762]

for gods sake , is it diffiicult to make somthing beatiful like this piece nowdays ? the question : am i the only one who love this things , or : there are no good music these days ?

[musicfanBRA]

@5619762 - There are several groups doing this kind of music, look for "a capela" or "a capella" (i.e. solo singers without accompaniment). E.g. vivaldi a capella. Cheers.

[CloudTT]

Thats pretty darn cool. One of my favorite pieces to play.

[albermarle52]

Now you know where the Canadian Brass get some of their settings of Bach.

[pureaKero]

Bach and Jazz are an awesome mix! The richness of harmony , the flexible rhythms, and the motivic freedom of his music lends itself so nicely to Jazz!

[Liptonater]

This low C by the basses at the end is real nice:P

[toskoramone]

actually if they can hit that low C they're at least tenors, but they might be basses as well

[albermarle52]

@toskoramone Ha no normal tenor can hit that note.

[Shea354]

Hella cool!

[levnest15]

candid

[indigoblue555]

Abs.tasteful rendition: I guess Johann will be appreciative...! Voices transcriptions were surely performed back then,so,not a disrespectful entertainment at all !

[footcandy]

Perfect!!!!

[lichtbroeder]

The 60's were definitely a creative period. Bach is always "in style", but the Swingle Singers infused his music with a contemporary sense of "class" that's just pure fun. Bach and jazz. Who would have thunk? :)

[RaindropCantabile]

I love the bass haha, it's awesome. Never thought Bach and jazz could mix.

[Babejuda]

They are great. Bravi! It is so hard to sing Bach and in this tempo!

[pleasantblue]

[bildforu]

@pleasantblue Duly noted.

[alfio1811]
