Notes & Reviews:

Following the motto "Bach in Jazz," Stephan König and his trio translate Baroque music into elegant jazz miniatures. Together with tenor Martin Petzold, the combo has arranged arias from Johann Sebastian Bach's large-scale cantatas and passions into a striking vocal experiment. In addition, the trio offers new listening experiences in select movements from the Italian Concerto and the Orchestral Suites. Two seeming opposites - a score-bound singer and improvising instrumentalists - approach Bach in an unheard-of fashion. And yet Bach remains Bach - even in Jazz.

Fanfare Magazine, November/December 2012
There is a special pleasure to realize that Petzold is the cantor at St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, which of course was Bach's musical home for decades. He certainly is an exceptional light tenor, and knows this style intimately. I wonder if he has performed any of these jazz arrangements at the Leipzig church; I wish he would, anyway!
