JS Bach, Suite for cello no. 1 | Bach plays Jazz
Jazz is the genre in which the pizzicato technique applied to the double bass has been most developed. But what would J.S. Bach's Suite No. 1 sound like played pizzicato on this instrument?
Pablo Martín Caminero studied violone and viola da gamba at the Vienna University of Music with José Vázquez, and double bass with Josef Niederhammer at the same institution. His musical career encompasses not only jazz and flamenco, but also Baroque music, and he is a member of the group Hippocampus , directed by Alberto Martínez Molina.
From his passion for music comes this idea of adapting the Baroque master's Suite No. 1 to the double bass, adjusting both the tonality (from G Major to C Major, more natural for the double bass) and the technique (pizzicato instead of bowing), with a surprising result.
