Post Description

Goldberg Variations Acoustica was conceived by AIX founder Mark Waldrep to be one long “pulsating” electronic variation based on Bach’s work and performed by a group of highly skilled musicians. Well, I’d say they succeeded. The AIX All Star Band, led by Jim Cox (arranger, piano, organ, and Wurlitzer electric piano), with Dean Parks (electric guitar), Laurence Juber (acoustic guitar), Kevin Axt (acoustic bass), MB Gordy (drums) and the aforementioned Alberto Lopez (percussion) bring together Bach’s Goldberg Variations sublimely in this one-take, “live in the studio” performance.

Call it jazz, new age, fusion, rock, or whatever, the music flows effortlessly from this group of highly skilled, talented, and oh-so-tight performers. One moment durin Variation 4, they sound almost like Led Zeppelin doing a combination of “Gallow’s Pole” and “Going to California” and later on, there are hints of country, flamenco, and even Latin jazz. It’s a wholly original take on Bach that flows where it may in an organic fashion and ends exactly where it should, with Bach sealing the ceremony.
