Unbreakable Bach with Michelle Nicolle

Bach is indestructible. Jazz singer Michelle Nicolle is the latest in a line of musicians to take the music of J.S. Bach and do things to it. Her jazz ensemble pops by The Music Show studio to play live selections from her new album The Bach Project, in which her acrobatic vocals draw closer and further from Bach’s original music.

As an improviser himself, Bach’s music is fertile ground for reinterpretation, and we’ll hear from the late Jacques Loussier, the Brodsky Quartet’s Paul Cassidy, composer Brett Dean and the Will Gregory Moog Ensemble, amongst others, on how Bach has been transformed.
