🙏 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!!
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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....
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 .😎👍
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'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...
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!
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.
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.
Amazing. Your range of dynamics plus the precision and ingenuity of the variations are world-class. The shifts between styles are seamless and done with humor. Very unique trio, as far as I have found. Looking forward to seeing you on tour - I think you’ll be in SF at the Jazz Center in the Fall.
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!
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! ❤🎹🎶🙍♀️
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!!

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

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!
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.😂

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.
The crispness of the dynamic contour blows my mind. Ear candy.
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
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.
Unbelievable. Been playing piano all my life and this makes me realise i know nothing about it.
Luca Sestak Trio.wonderful very wonderful & beautiful.Congratulations.Forever always
Fabulous. Well played, guys. Good to see music is making a comeback.

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 :)
Vous écouter procure toujours le même plaisir, un véritable ravissement !

"Трето направление", в изпълнение на високи професионалисти , е вълнуващо и почти винаги има силно емоционално въздействие!

Strongly influensed by Eugen Cicero and Hiromi Uehara... Brilliance!
Thnx you i fine Eugenio
That background is mood. Music is very smooth. To the ears it soothes. I love this groove
Outstanding interpretation. As I myself really enjoy classical music as well, this might be my new favorite mix of genres
I second that!
Splendid music!
I love how the cameraman was careful about not showing his own reflexion on the window, beautiful work!
Whoaaa.... My brain has stopped.... I can't find words to describe what I have just seen and heard. Masterpiece. Minimum.
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 !
Bach is shaking his head with a sweet smile wherever he was!
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
Ammazza quanto siete bravi!!!
Господи!Как это прекрасно! Это настоящий Бах! Я счастлива,что услышала здесь настоящего Баха!❤❤❤
This is INcredible!! I could listen to this on repeat forever!

Greetings from France.
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!
Out of this world! Absolutely incredible! Well done
Jacques Loussier and Eugen Cicero also smile from the heaven...
Breathtaking! What a tune! Chapeau!
I like how you through some Rach (C#m prelude) in there. You guys sound great!
I just listened to the song and I see it
Bach and Skinny Pete are proud ! Excellent cover !
Damn! This sounds amazing, you guys killed it 🔥🔥
Oh my goodness! I could hardly stay still!! Dope Everything!
Oh gosh. There is joy in the world in these troubled times.
oh my God! Incredible arrangement

The spirit of Jacques Loussier lives on. Shame that we couldn't hear Brian Blessed's bass playing very well.
And don't forget also the same piece by Eugen Cicero, at least as brilliant.
LOUSSIER’S ALIVE!
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! ❤🎹🎶🙍♀️
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.
Very nice music. I also loved the room and the way the video has been shot, makes it all even more enjoyable.
The spirit of Claude Bolling is strong in this one.
So that’s why this sounded familiar 😂
you guys reminded me to Jacques Loussier's Bach version!! so lively!! great job :D
Jacques Loussier finally has a successor! 🎉
This tickled my ears in the best ways.
Been a long time since I got off that hard on a first listen.

Now, we all know why Johann Sebastian in the 17th century said : "I'll be Bach !"
Yes, but this piece is actually by his son😅
😂😂😂

And same for the drum
@@GrimbertOlivier agreed but not as quiet as the bass

It kept me on my toes for the whole time 😅. Just stunning. Congratulations with yet another such memorable performance!
Noticed the Cicero variation right off the bat. Nicely done.
And you have done a great job making the piece your own.
Это шедевр! Браво! Невероятно здорово!!!👏👏👏👍🏻
Truly inspired! Sweet, powerful, articulate, moving, dynamic and fun!
Excellent!! Fantastic! Reminds me that I should pull out and listen again to my Claude Bolling records.
