Released in 1974, Blues on Bach brilliantly fuses jazz improvisation with classical rigor, showcasing the MJQ’s signature sophistication. The album alternates between John Lewis’ Bach-inspired compositions ("Prelude and Fugue") and bluesy originals ("Regret?"), highlighting Milt Jackson’s soulful vibraphone and Lewis’ precise piano. Tracks like "Don’t Stop This Train" swing with elegant restraint, while "Blues in A Minor" nods to their roots in bebop. The quartet’s seamless interplay—Connie Kay’s brushwork, Percy Heath’s melodic bass—elevates each piece. A testament to their "third stream" ethos, Blues on Bach balances cerebral craftsmanship with earthy warmth, proving jazz and Baroque can coexist beautifully. A late-career gem from these timeless innovators.
