Improvisations on Bach “We would like to think that J.S. is with us in spirit as we convert his clavier pieces, solo string pieces, arias, and concerti into trios, because we do it with absolute love and respect. The whole universe of music is found in Bach, so we don’t think he would be “astounded” to find us bringing into play jazz, blues, and the roots music of New Orleans and Brazil, as well as free improvisation.” - Philip Aaberg
