Superb artistry!
As a professional classical musician (and erstwhile Beatles fan - my mother raised me listening to them at home in the late 70s) I have to commend this delightful album! The playing itself is fantastic, and the artistry and skill of John Bayless in imitating Bach is ...

Bach & Beatles - A Sensuous Pair
John Bayless improvises favorite melodies of The Beatles in the style of J. S. Bach in a sensuous manner. The playing is musical, the improvisations are excellent, and the instrument is superior. Mr. Bayless captures the innate musicianship of the Beatles ...

Gorgeous arrangements. Very dramatic and melodic.
Don't be scared off by the "clown-like" picture on the cover. This album, by a true piano virtuoso/arranger, blends familiar movie and light classical melodies together into unique arrangements. Every time it's been on while I have guests, someone always asks ...

John Bayless
Angel Records, 2008

Giacomo Puccini
Angel Records, 1993
cocktails at La Scala
This is a superb collection of Puccini's melodies arranged and improvised for solo piano, and brilliantly played by John Bayless; it wrings every bit of emotion from these resplendent arias, some so tender and expressive, like the exquisite "Son Andati ?" from La ...

My favorite of the season
This is the holiday music I have listened to throughout the season, and it is so beautiful I cannot bear to put it away yet. I love Bayless's work at any time, and these arrangements simply take my breath away. His blending of "I'll Be Home for Christmas" with "Going ...

Bayless Meets Bernstein: West Side Story Variations

Brilliant improvisation
I have always loved "West Side Story" and have a few albums of different versions as well as the original soundtrack. John Bayless has done something completely amazing on this album. His improvisations are nothing short of genius as he has reworked the show, by ...
