yes, but that involves reading off a score. you're playing something someone composed and especially since Bach is of the baroque era, you got to follow his notation and whatever tempo/dynamic markings to a T. not the same, bb. jazz is a whole different ball game.

Love the violin in jazz. Thanks for posting.

I agree, the rhythm group does not offer much room. Backing up a fiddle needs a bit more elegance (in my ears).

If you are into jazz violin, may I suggest Kristian Jorgensen, wellknown in Scandinavia for his eleghant bebop. I have uploaded a video, just search for his name or videos uploaded by me.

@jacqu0m0 Depends on what you consider difficult. The big challenge in improvising is writing good music yourself! Effectively, as an improviser you have to write your own partita or sonata, and implement it on the fly, without practice room time for specific fingering choices, etc.

Playing jazz well on the violin is harder—lots of cats can play Bach, very few can improvise well! Just food for thought.

Nice work not easy to play over a section acoustically.In the twenty's violinist had to play like this .sometimes it is hard to control a rhythm section like this .Maybe he just needs a mic.Great playing raw ,manly ,primal .wonderful.looks like he is blocking his amp.bad location for .it

Guys...

U gotta watch Luluk Purwanto...

anything done well is difficult and requires 150% of ones energy. I play both Bach and attempt at improvising and both require mammoth amounts of work.

Bach doesn't have dynamics. Or syncopation to speak of.  Don't naysay music just because you don't can't do it.
