Back to Bach
J.S. Bach meets jazz
Collectif Trytone has developed a musical synthesis that breaks down barriers between musical styles, musicians, and listeners. With adventurous spirit and passionate artistry, the Collectif brings together an eclectic group of inquisitive musicians on a quest through different musical spheres: early music, classical music, jazz.
The quintet (piano, soprano, saxophone, drums, and contrabass) creates a symbiosis between these genres and practices, placing the music of the past into a contemporary context.
Inspired by works from J. S Bach, Back to Bach offers a unique new musical mélange which combines the specifics of the baroque performance practice with those of jazz, including their respective styles of improvisation and ornamentation. The resulting new and original sound combines interaction, creation, and improvisation. With music based on Bach’s St. John’s Passion, Cantatas BVW 21/84/127/150, Preludes BWV 924 and 999, among others.
