Uri Caine's Goldberg Variations

[Andrew Conkling]

I don't know if there's a precedent for this, but this edit seems to  
have escaped my attention for a few years: http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=2772783

This performance, for anyone familiar with Uri Caine or Bach's  
Goldberg Variations, is a take on Bach's form, with 70 variations  
composed by Caine. (Incidentally, it's really great, a contemporary  
jazz homage to Bach and to the variety of the Goldbergs.)

I'm not sure why CatCat would think it belongs under Bach's credit and  
not Caine's, but does anyone have any compelling reason why it should  
remain this way? Any precedents?

Thanks,
Andrew / andrewski

Jacques Loussier seems to be a similar case and his releases were asigned to Loussier, not to Bach :-)

Thanks. That's a perfect example; not sure why I didn't think of him!

Any ideas on the type of AR Bach should get? Track-track types would seem to fit, but I'm not sure to which tracks/release we'd want to associate this. :)

I'd set JSB as composer and Uri Caine as ... what? The tracks added by Uri Caine are obviously his. But what about the others? From a classical point of view, I guess these are more than arrangements (although I don't know Uri Caine's release), more like a re-composition. From a jazz point of view, these would be considered as arrangements or even performances. I'd have exactly the same problem with Jacques Loussier's releases.
