"Bach to Blues and Jazz"

"Bach to Blues and Jazz"

Traveling from Bach's Suite No.2 Prelude on through the modern Jazz Ambassadors such as Dizzy Gillespie and Dave Brubeck to even some rock/blues classics from the Animals and Led Zeppelin.  This program offers a great sampling of jazz lofty standards and connections through musical history.  Classically trained Alex Prizgintas and his amplified cello employs non-classical tools like distortion, delay, and the iconic “wah-wah” guitar pedals symbolic of 1960s Rock n’ Roll bands.  Accompanied with a narration that reveal some of the back stories of baroque, jazz, folk, and Rock n’ Roll classics, he immerses his audience in a journey through musical history.
