  Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

  Otherworld, Bach’s fifth record as leader and his fourth in the studio, is a testament to his growth as a player, composer, and producer. Just as Bach’s moody interfacing of classical, R&B, and improvisational influences distinguishes him from all the smooth jazz clones, despite its deep jazz roots, so too does a fine balance of effervescence and robustness distinguish it from its predecessors. His European tenure shines through in the slick opener “City Lights” and its companion “There and Back,” both of which show his innate comfort with evocative atmospheres. From note one the latter especially places Bach squarely among likeminded instrumentalists such as Eberhard Weber and Jan Garbarek, minds who turned the jazz paradigm inward and brought it back to the melody. In this sense Bach is a luminescent storyteller, his playing evocative and precise. His pianism is front and center throughout, fleshed by equally descriptive contributions from his world-class band mates. By those musicians Bach has been as blessed as he is with talent.
