JS Bach was mostly known for his organ playing during his life time, not so much for his composing which is ironic because he played his own compositions. His influence and popularity was not as great after his death, as was the case with the likes of Mozart and Beethoven, until Mendelssohn picked up some his work nearly a hundred years later and began to perform Bachs works himself.

The jazz version was written for Paul Whitemans band, this was the original. This had strings + saxes(doubling clarinet), trumpets, troms, kit and banjo.

I believe it's Janos Starker, who was principal cello of the CSO at the time
of the recording. Now he's a cello professor at Indiana University.
It's not Starker. He left the orchestra in 1958. And he's now dead. The cellist in question was Robert LaMarchina. You can read about him at
Mr. Starker is still very much alive, well, and active in Bloomington, Indiana at the time of this posting - July 2008.
The first and third answers are indeed correct. Mr. Starker played on the record in his last season with Chicago. And he is still alive at the time of this posting - September 2009. Robert Lamarchina, who however has died, played the solos when the orchestra recorded the concerto just a couple of years later, with Svjatoslav Richter, during the 1960-61 season. The conductor of that session, Richter's debut on American records, was Erich Leinsdorf, stepping in for an ailing Fritz Reiner.
