🙏 Please can you do this more slowly just on piano? I'm a relative beginner and even with sheet music it's hard for me to grasp as I can't consistently see your hands. Please and thank you !!!!!!! (From Vancouver Canada)
Yes!! This was epic Luca! Loved how you incorporated blues and jazz reharms into this classical piece. The whole arrangement is so clever, with that big build up in the middle! Your touch is perfect. The energy of the band is awesome. The production of the video is stellar. You really took everything up a notch on this video. From boogie master to classical music re-inventor… Well done!!
How do you know if Bach could have played it like that? I think he could’ve played it very close to like that. But I do agree that he would’ve appreciated the interpretation.
Bach was the most brilliant keyboard player of his time. He was more famous for his (inhuman) skills as a player than as a composer back then. He could do whatever he wanted.
@@PixlyPenguin Yes, except this piece is not by Johann Sebastian Bach but by one of his sons, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. Another son, Johann Christian Bach, was also a successful composer. So there ARE other Bachs well worth admiring.
Reminds me of the vocal group "Swingle Singers" in the early '60s...on Phillips vinyl if memory serves me. Bass, Drums, + two men, two women. Worth a listen. Their first album of Bach classics is their best IMO.
One of those moments where you work with background music, and you have to stop what you are doing, because it sounds so good, and you need to see who it is in order to find it again.
I have hope because of The Consouls - they tap into the nostalgia of vgm (for the younger generation not me!) and amplify the jazz roots of much of the original (often 8-bit) tunes and the kids are eating it up while learning a love of jazz
Another one that thought he could improve on Bach... Don't get me wrong, I find these attempts quite enjoyable, specially if I ignore their connection to Bach. (not really, maybe...)
@@edgarvalderrama1143I don’t think either felt they were improving the original work, they just provided their own interpretation. Imitation is the highest form of flattery, when not plagiarized, and this is far from plagiarizing
I love everything about this, just how tight the players felt, the Kit sounded awesome, and the bass, not only that but they way they recorded everything, this is awesome!
Luca grazie di esistere...io che adoro queste fusioni tra classica e jazz , come ha dimostrato il grandioso ed immenso Claude Bolling , nel 2024 vedere e sentire suonare così dei ragazzi giovanissimi e' una gioia immensa. La musica ti ringrazia.🙏. Se un giorno farai concerti in Italia cercherò di esserci. Bravissimi tutti .😎👍
Wow!!! Took me ages and ages to figure out how to play it on guitar.... straight.... the variations here are awesome! The cleaness from all 3 is amazing....
Outstanding, and inspiring, and reminds us that music should be learned through improvisation and not in any other way. Creating is the way music was meant to be shared. Thank you Luca.
He almost certainly learned classical repertoire very young before learning jazz, which is how most jazz pianists develop. Need to start young on classical technique for piano. I'm sure there are some teachers who introduce improvisation relatively early, but technique is first.
This gets a big WOW from me, and I'm a rather fussy chap by nature. Very lively, very hip, pretty volcanic, and simply exhilarating all round. C.P.E. Bach would be elated to listen to this. This is a discovery for me. It seems like Jacques Loussier is somehow still with us. Viva la Musica! Greetings from France.
Love it! There are some Rachmaninov and Chopin taste in the second half, for me... Shigeru, + your touch, + and the complete sounding together All is good!
First pianist I've come across where I both LOVE listening to the music, AND feel deeply inspired to learn your compositions. I'm grateful to Spotify for recommending you, and I will be purchasing your sheet music book as soon as I'm able!
If there is any one that should be "Taylor Swift" famous for their talent, it is Luca. Think of all the hours and hours of hard work and dedication to his craft! Well done Maestro!!
I'm crying. Wonderful. Piano sound is also amazing. 1:41 It reminded me "Stiller Beobachter" by Kristjan Randalu, but more - "The Forgotten Village" by Shai Maestro, I don't know why. Yes, and "Procession" by Joel Lyssarides. This tender sound...
Bravo, Mr. Sestak! In my first year of college, I too, played Bach's Solfeggietto with a jazz trio I formed. I'm loving your style and bravado! Well done! ❤🎹🎶🙍♀️
Нет слов!!!!описать восхищение,Боже как прекрасно!Как в вашем уме все это поместилось!преклоняюсь,восхищаюсь,,Боже спасибо за услышанное и увиденное!!браво!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Father Bach now is smiling at you from Heaven. Absolutely brilliant co-operation of His Son and You.
Father CPE Bach!
@@LoveJoyPeace378 He meant the father, ol good fellow JS, really ;) Read again !
Father, son & the holy spirit ❤
Goodness me. What a gifted player.
Verdade!!!!
Meu Deus do céu isso é muito bom
Don’t call it a gift, that is skill. His time and effort went into that, don’t diminish it by saying it wasn’t something he earned and created himself

Я поражена, оранжировка и исполнение на высшем уровне! Молодцы ребята ❤
jaques Loussier
Испортили.
@@andrewdronsson9028Что испортили и в каком месте?
@@MrGoshka1 Начинаая с 0:07.
@@andrewdronsson9028 Музыка может быть разная. Расширяйте кругозор.
EXACTLY as Herr Bach wanted it to be played, because he couldn’t. Totally Brilliant in every way! Attractive camera work as well.
How do you know if Bach could have played it like that? I think he could’ve played it very close to like that. But I do agree that he would’ve appreciated the interpretation.
No way Bach would mix the piano so loud and the bass so low
Definitely not! 🤣
Not saying that’s not interesting or not good!
The original by Bach is better.
Bach was the most brilliant keyboard player of his time. He was more famous for his (inhuman) skills as a player than as a composer back then. He could do whatever he wanted.
Bach will never leave us. His virtuous talent and genuis are immortal.
No other Bach
@@PixlyPenguin Yes, except this piece is not by Johann Sebastian Bach but by one of his sons, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. Another son, Johann Christian Bach, was also a successful composer. So there ARE other Bachs well worth admiring.
@@Kazoiks his sons were actually more famous when he was alive
I agreed with you fully!!!!! Besides His music Is a MUST in pianist study!!!!
Это не Иоганн Себастьян!
I was pleased with the sound recording quality , my thanks to the sound engineer !
100%
Nice and clear sound, although a bit too much on the piano.
SENSACIONAL!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@C.Renelleimo I think it's on purpose, but yes maybe a little much. At least the piano sounds amazing
かっこいい。
バッハとジャズ、どっちも好き。
テンション上がりました、ありがとうございます。

Right, and also the Modern Jazz Quartet!
Thanks so much for the recommendation!!!
Oh yeah. Now I totally hear it.
Highly recommend Eugene Cicero. He was the GOAT at this game…
I don't think they ever swung Bach's notes. I think their only addition was a syncopated bass line.
One of those moments where you work with background music, and you have to stop what you are doing, because it sounds so good, and you need to see who it is in order to find it again.
The crispness of the dynamic contour blows my mind. Ear candy.
Luca Sestak Trio.wonderful very wonderful & beautiful.Congratulations.Forever always
This made my day unforgettable. Bach is great in any form.
У будь якому вигляді?! Хм. Це тому, що ви не чули Баха у моєму виконанні.😂
Unbelievable. Been playing piano all my life and this makes me realise i know nothing about it.
Fabulous. Well played, guys. Good to see music is making a comeback.
I have hope because of The Consouls - they tap into the nostalgia of vgm (for the younger generation not me!) and amplify the jazz roots of much of the original (often 8-bit) tunes and the kids are eating it up while learning a love of jazz
@@cooldebt can you recommend some of their songs/covers?
You mean a comebach
@@a0shikin0a haha nice one!
Music never left, you should be more open to things you don't know, you'll see complexity and virtuosity even in some pop artists :)
Fabulous musicians
Bach would be so proud of you🥲
Whoaaa.... My brain has stopped.... I can't find words to describe what I have just seen and heard. Masterpiece. Minimum.
Strongly influensed by Eugen Cicero and Hiromi Uehara... Brilliance!
Thnx you i fine Eugenio
"Трето направление", в изпълнение на високи професионалисти , е вълнуващо и почти винаги има силно емоционално въздействие!
Oh gosh. There is joy in the world in these troubled times.
Ammazza quanto siete bravi!!!
Wow! A great successor to Jacques Loussier! This will be on repeat for a while :)

Let's call this Staggering and be done with it .

Yes!!! This is it! Jaques Loussier trio is back! I was waiting for someone to take Loussier-s legacy and keep it alive!!! Great, Great, Awesome!
Banging it a bit more than Loussier
@@franciscouderq1100 He is not Jacques Loussier you know. 😄
He’s better
@@johnransom1146 I can`t say that he is better, maybe more enthuziast and dynamic! I think that Loussier had a special feeling for music!
Sorry for Loussier, but this is some levels higher up
Vous écouter procure toujours le même plaisir, un véritable ravissement !
Bach and Skinny Pete are proud ! Excellent cover !
Durch Zufall über dieses Stück gestolpert hier auf RUclips. Wahnsinn! Wie toll und schön!
😍
Dazu ist der Junge auch noch deutscher ❤️
Bach is shaking his head with a sweet smile wherever he was!

Bravissimo !
la dinamica eccezzionale con la quali suoni questo pezzo è ammirevole!
Господи!Как это прекрасно! Это настоящий Бах! Я счастлива,что услышала здесь настоящего Баха!❤❤❤
Absolutely positively innovative and incredible 🎉 Finally a set of free thinking musicians😊 I am delighted! Bravo 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🫰🏽🫰🏽🫰🏽
Innovative? The Swingle Singers did it at least 50 years ago.
That background is mood. Music is very smooth. To the ears it soothes. I love this groove
Splendid music!
I love how the cameraman was careful about not showing his own reflexion on the window, beautiful work!
Jacques Loussier and Eugen Cicero also smile from the heaven...
Ребята, Браво. Какой профессионализм. Какая игра! Фантастика и восторг! Вы-космос. Сколько мастерства и техники! Успехов вам ,я Ваш фанат!
Ай молодец! Какие глубины раскрылись в этом Сольфеджиетто! Вот что значит развитое воображение
Испортили годное произведение.

Greetings from France.
Остроумно. Наличие техники. Увлеченность.Согласна ...минутное развлечение....и не больше... Надеюсь я не предала Баха....
Неудачный парафраз на аранжировку Ойгена Цицеро. А вот он полностью отдал дань автору, аутентично исполнив вступление и репризу.
Jacques Loussier would be so proud of you!!! Amazing work. Thank you.
Love it! There are some Rachmaninov and Chopin taste in the second half, for me... Shigeru, + your touch, + and the complete sounding together All is good!
Excellent!! Fantastic! Reminds me that I should pull out and listen again to my Claude Bolling records.
First pianist I've come across where I both LOVE listening to the music, AND feel deeply inspired to learn your compositions. I'm grateful to Spotify for recommending you, and I will be purchasing your sheet music book as soon as I'm able!
Oh my goodness! I could hardly stay still!! Dope Everything!
Wow! Just as I thought you couldn't possibly get any better, you publish this. This is sensational. Congratulations!
Yall are just crazy with it!!! Love to see it !
Све је то раније радио Еуген Цицеро,и то много боље.
Оригинал је оригинал.А био је и један Лузиер .
Овим момцима желим све најлепше.
Dieser Mann kann alles : Klassik und Jazz !
Luca You re a genius of Jazz! You have immense talent! The music plays you ! It's the spirit of music !
Bach is bebop with a different feel. Great playing! Nice and clear lines.
Bebop tells always a story and the saxophone is the prime tool. I hear no story from Luca Sestac. It´s primitive!
Outstanding interpretation. As I myself really enjoy classical music as well, this might be my new favorite mix of genres
I second that!
I think it's very good that you can still recognise the original despite the major changes. It's really great. Crazy!!
If there is any one that should be "Taylor Swift" famous for their talent, it is Luca. Think of all the hours and hours of hard work and dedication to his craft! Well done Maestro!!
Sounds like Bud Powell in a modern recording studio. Love it.
I'm crying. Wonderful. Piano sound is also amazing.
1:41 It reminded me "Stiller Beobachter" by Kristjan Randalu, but more - "The Forgotten Village" by Shai Maestro, I don't know why. Yes, and "Procession" by Joel Lyssarides. This tender sound...

Asombroso.
Louisiane J'adore BACH.....mais avec vous on le redécouvre merveilleusement 🤩🤩🤩MERCI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jacques Loussier and JSB are applauding 😊👏
Fantastic, unbelievable!
Wow. It's the best way to record piano music. I wish all piano players were recorded with this mic set.

Desde el sur de Brasil ❤❤❤
Amazing piece ❤️ just what the world needs ❤️

Out of this world! Absolutely incredible! Well done
I’ve played the straight version. I’m humbled. You’re like, wow young man.
Это шедевр! Браво! Невероятно здорово!!!👏👏👏👍🏻
Next level 1950s modern jazz. Keep up the swing and keep on dropping in the blue notes.
Genial. Altísimo nivel. Un desarrollo y dinámica que asemeja un concierto para piano . Bravo!!!
Großartig gespielt, macht tierischen Spaß, euch zuzuhören!
Wow, wonderful! Thank you for this great work!❤
Exquisita sensibilidad en toda la interpretación y un excelente arreglo
Absolutely amazing!!! Beautiful phrasing and dynamics.
Just WONDERFUL!!!!!!!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOUR MUSIC. I just discovered you and fell in love with your music. Thank you!
서울에도 꼭 와주세요!!! Hope to see these guys in Seoul Jazz Festival one day, soon or later..❤
Ahhh yes, I wondered someone would pick up the mantle from the esteemed, late Jacques Loussier. I'm looking forward to hearing more of his work!
2:32 from this part it was so emotional, made me cry 🥺🔥😍
