Description
The present work originated in 2016, when Maestro Rino Marrone proposed to the Coffee Street Trio a project focusing on the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, in particular on “The Art of Fugue” BWV 1080. The idea was to perform some fugues alternating the classical versions and jazz arrangements. The musical ideas proposed here are developed taking inspiration from Bach’s thematic, harmonic and compositional elements and from the Baroque performing and compositional practice. There are dialogues between historical periods, between apparently different musical styles and genres, between lights and shadows in the typical contrasts of the Baroque, but above all there are dialogues among people through the exchange of their musical ideas. In this recording the choice of different sounds in each track is an integral part of the arrangements as much as the notes that compose them. This recording follows the path of the first concert dedicated to the project, where dialogues and contrasts between different eras and genres are kept alive through the alternation of classical performances and jazz arrangements.
Enjoy the listening!

Johann Sebastian Bach: (b Eisenach, 21 March 1685, d Leipzig; 28 July 1750). Composer and organist. The most important member of the family, his genius combined outstanding performing musicianship with supreme creative powers in which forceful and original inventiveness, technical mastery and intellectual control are perfectly balanced. While it was in the former capacity, as a keyboard virtuoso, that in his lifetime he acquired an almost legendary fame, it is the latter virtues and accomplishments, as a composer, that by the end of the 18th century earned him a unique historical position. His musical language was distinctive and extraordinarily varied, drawing together and surmounting the techniques, the styles and the general achievements of his own and earlier generations and leading on to new perspectives which later ages have received and understood in a great variety of ways.
The first authentic posthumous account of his life, with a summary catalogue of his works, was put together by his son Carl Philipp Emanuel and his pupil J.F. Agricola soon after his death and certainly before March 1751 (published as Nekrolog, 1754). J.N. Forkel planned a detailed Bach biography in the early 1770s and carefully collected first-hand information on Bach, chiefly from his two eldest sons; the book appeared in 1802, by when the Bach Revival had begun and various projected collected editions of Bach’s works were underway; it continues to serve, together with the 1754 obituary and the other 18th-century documents, as the foundation of Bach biography.
