THE BACH PROJECT
The 9th release from the Michelle Nicolle Quartet.
Recorded in Melbourne @pughousestudios
and mixed and mastered in NYC @marcurselli
Officially released July 7 on Earshift Music
The Bach Project is a continuation of Michelle Nicolle’s ongoing passion project which was born in 2014 as part of the Bach Festival at the University of Adelaide.
As well as a great composer J.S. Bach was also one of the great improvisers of his time, a perfect fit for the Quartet’s chamber jazz approach. Also paying homage to other jazz composers, Ornette Coleman, Monk, and Horace Silver, these arrangements showcase the mastery of J.S. Bach’s compositions and add new flavour and energy to the improvisational elements found (and sometimes lost) in these great works.
This is undoubtedly modern music, yet steeped in one of the richest of all musical traditions.
“It’s bats and wonderful and so virtuosic…some amazing ensemble work going on. It’s so startling and wondrous.” Paul Kildea
