DOUBLINSZKI & PRICE BAROQUE TO BOP
Improvisation Across the Centuries
A unique chamber music duo featuring classical guitar and double bass.
Improvisation was central to Baroque music and remains at the heart of jazz today. In Baroque to Bop, guitarist Peter Doublinszki and double bassist Elsen Price explore this enduring creative tradition through music by J.S. Bach, C.P.E. Bach, Handel, the Modern Jazz Quartet, Charlie Parker, and original compositions.
Drawing inspiration from historical performance practice as well as modern improvisation, the duo reimagines familiar repertoire through ornamentation, spontaneous variation, and creative interaction. The result is a program that reveals unexpected connections between musical traditions often viewed as separate, inviting audiences to hear both Baroque music and jazz with fresh ears.
Combining virtuosity, spontaneity, and engaging commentary, Baroque to Bop celebrates improvisation as a living art form linking past and present.
