Customer Reviews

A sublime session!!5
I can't really say enough about the music from this 1988 recording session....The late John Lewis shows he was a master of both jazz and classical music. The swing and jazz improvisations here ebb and flow out of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, Book One, as naturally as the tides on the ocean. Such a fine, yet under-apreciated take on Bach! Do yourself the favor of buying this recording. (This is volume #3. It took me several years to track down all 4 volumes. It was well worth the effort!)

About #4...5
If you already have 3 of the volume from wherever shop. You would better listen to the final one, volume #4. I don't think there is easier way to get the volume than to go to Amazon Japan Site. If you have ever experienced Japanese web site, you would know that it could never be easy to shop for the people who do not read Japanese. Of course, there is a language selection option for english speaking customer; you'd better not to be so intimidated for shopping at the site. As Jmichael wrote, to track down volume # 4 is well worth the nuisance. Good luck!

Can't beat Bach, but that was not the aim4
All started from the motion picture La vie promisse. You'd better see it. And then I was not able to get off the Lewis variation on Prelude 13.

Nothing on the disk is better than that. But all the music on the disk is immensly charming.
