Embracing the world of Johann Sebastian Bach, holding it close and then merging it with the freedom of improvisation that a jazz musician masters... In all humility, and with great respect for those who have preceded him, Francis Lockwood now brings us Round about Bach, a bantering tribute that shows not only Lockwood's love for the Master, but also a shared Passion for that famous blue note (as early as 1987, Jazz Hot rated Francis Lockwood one of the five greatest pianists in Europe), which binds the Old and New Worlds together.
