0598 Cedric West [Bach Goes West] FLAC 12(30.34)

Contributed by bluebird, who writes:-
There was a bit of a vogue for going all 'Bachy' and 'Baroquey' in the 1960s by various jazz groups, as if by doing this it made jazz music more respectable. I guess Jacques Loussier started the trend.
I never particularly cared for the style myself but here is one example by a group led by one of those musician's  musicians - Cedric West. He was a very highly  regarded guitarist and there is a very interesting YouTube clip showing Joe Pass visiting his home to jam in his living room. Martin Taylor is somewhere in there too.
And what a dreadful cover picture - I hope Cedric was paid a lot of money to pose like that.
