Inventive show by jazz trio inspired by Baroque genius, J.S. Bach
In this innovative show, Neil Cowley, along with long-time collaborators Evan Jenkins (drums) and Rex Horan (bass) explore the subtle but profound influence of J.S. Bach on Cowley’s original music.
Yet this is not merely a jazz interpretation of Bach’s work; rather Cowley pays homage; not by unravelling or reinventing Bach’s compositions, but by revealing Bach within his own. As with all of Cowley’s music, Bach’s presence is felt — not imitated, and the show lays bare the essence of the Neil Cowley Trio’s sound. Coupled with the music, the engaging and dryly humourous Cowley shares personal stories throughout a dynamic, heartfelt performance.
‘Built on Bach’ uses Bach’s work as a ‘jumping off point’. Bach is etched into Cowley’s DNA and as such original music hums with Bach’s presence. Approached in the way they approach all their music; with freedom, with dynamics, with improvisation and above all accentuating the beauty within. This will be a show combining the classic sound of the Neil Cowley Trio with the sound of the most classic composer of them all; Johann Sebastian Bach.
