Die Kammer-Jazz-Gruppe; arrangements credited to Mart Laiser (Horst Reipsch)

The same twelve-track record circulated as Bach in Jazz and Bach As Never Played Before.

Its arranger “Mart Laiser” was really Horst Reipsch, who built concertante swing settings from twelve themes in The Well-Tempered Clavier using reeds and brass rather than a piano trio.
