Francesco Piemontesi, Shabaka Hutchings, Benjamin Grosvenor
Francesco Piemontesi (piano) in Bach: Partita No 1. Shabaka Hutchings (tenor sax/clarinet) in his own jazz compositions. Benjamin Grosvenor (piano) in Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue.
Jacques Loussier famously jazzed up Bach, although not the Partita no. 1 in B flat BWV 825, performed here by Swiss pianist Francesco Piemontesi. Shabaka Hutchings instead provides the jazz element with three of his own pieces from a specially recorded studio session, and British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor finds the halfway point between the two genres with Gershwin's jazz-inspired piano concerto Rhapsody in Blue, here arranged for solo piano.
