Music Comments & Discussion
This CD was relaesed for the 300th birthday of JS Bach.
John Bayless interprets various composers with their musical pieces, but always keeps the theme of the CD, which is "HAPPY BIRTHDAY". This melody is ingeniously interwoven with all the pieces on the CD.
John Bayless (Piano, Composer, Arranger)
Born: Borger, Texas, USA
The American pianist and composer, John Bayless, won a scholarship to the Aspen School of Music at age 15, and two years later moved to New York to study with Adele Marcus at The Juilliard School of Music. He also studied at New York University's Musical Theater Masters Degree Program with Leonard Bernstein, Jule Styne, Arthur Laurents, Betty Comden and Adolph Green.
John Bayless made his recording debut in 1985 with an album entitled Happy Birthday Bach, which was created in honor of the Bach tercentennial celebration. Two subsequent releases, Bach Meets the Beatles and Bach on Abby Road, contained his improvisations on Beatles melodies and were phenomenally well received, the former selected as one of the Top Ten Classical Crossover Recordings of the 1980's by Billboard Magazine. A compilation CD of the Beatles recordings was released in 2004. His exclusive recording contract with Angel/EMI brought forth four top selling albums. Bayless Meets Bernstein: West Side Story Concert Variations, based on Leonard Bernstein's timeless score, was a critical success and a popular one as well.

When I bought this CD I must have played it over and over for the whole day. I just could not get enough of it!
