After Bach
''After Bach'' is a solo album by pianist Brad Mehldau. It consists of five compositions from Johann Sebastian Bach's ''Well-Tempered Clavier'' interspersed with pieces by Mehldau that were inspired by them. The performances were recorded in 2017 and released by Nonesuch Records the following year.

Among these influences is classical music—Mehldau was classically trained—including the works of Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach was an excellent keyboardist, a necessary part of which, during his lifetime, was the ability to improvise. While such improvisation has largely been lost from classical music performance, it is fundamental to jazz musicians.
