Our Take

If you’re looking for a quirky twist on classical music, look no further than Jacques Loussier’s "Play Bach Vol. 1." This jazz pianist takes the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and gives it a groovy makeover that is a real toe-tapper.

From the moment you press play, you’re transported to a smoky jazz club where Bach himself is getting down with the cool cats of the 20th century. Loussier’s piano skills are on full display as he effortlessly blends the intricate melodies of Bach with the improvisational spirit of jazz.

Tracks like “Prelude No. 1 in C Major” and “Toccata and Fugue in D Minor” are given a fresh new sound that will have you tapping your feet and snapping your fingers in no time. It’s impossible not to be drawn in by the infectious energy of Loussier’s music.

While some purists may turn up their noses at the idea of blending classical and jazz, Loussier proves that the two genres can coexist in perfect harmony. "Play Bach Vol. 1" is a delightful fusion of old and new that will leave you wanting more.

So grab a glass of wine, settle in to your favourite chair, and let Jacques Loussier take you on a musical journey like no other. You won’t be disappointed. Jazz and classical music fans alike will find something to love in this unique and captivating album.
