Our Take

Ah, Jacques Loussier, a name that just rolls off the tongue like a fine glass of Bordeaux. The Original Play Bach Vols. 1 & 2 is a delightful romp through the lush musical landscapes of Johann Sebastian Bach, reimagined with a jazzy twist by the masterful Loussier.

From the moment the first notes hit your ears, you'll be transported to a smoky jazz club in 1960s Paris, sipping on a martini and tapping your foot to the infectious rhythms. Loussier's arrangements of Bach's timeless works are nothing short of genius, blending classical precision with improvisational flair in a truly unique way.

Tracks like "Prelude No. 1 in C Major" and "Air on G String" are given new life with Loussier's nimble fingers dancing across the keys, adding a fresh, modern sensibility to these age-old classics. The interplay between piano, bass, and drums is tight and effortless, creating a seamless fusion of classical and jazz influences.

So grab a beret, pour yourself a glass of absinthe, and let Jacques Loussier take you on a musical journey unlike any other. The Original Play Bach Vols. 1 & 2 is a must-listen for any music lover looking to expand their horizons and experience the timeless beauty of Bach in a whole new light. Magnifique!

About the artist

Jacques Loussier

Ah, Jacques Loussier, the jazz pianist extraordinaire who brought a touch of class and sophistication to the world of music. With his unique blend of classical mastery and jazz improvisation, Loussier has carved out a niche for himself in the overcrowded landscape of modern jazz. Born in Angers, France in 1934, Loussier studied at the Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique in Paris before bursting onto the jazz scene in the 1950s. His innovative approach to jazz, combining the traditional structures of classical music with the spontaneous energy of improvisation, quickly earned him a devoted following. Loussier's most famous work is undoubtedly his "Play Bach" series, in which he reinterpreted the music of Johann Sebastian Bach through a jazz lens. The series was a commercial and critical success, showcasing Loussier's virtuosity and inventive arrangements. But Loussier is more than just a Bach aficionado. Throughout his long and illustrious career, he has collaborated with some of the biggest names in music, from Miles Davis to Pink Floyd. His influence can be heard in the work of countless contemporary jazz musicians, who have been inspired by his boundary-pushing approach to music. Despite his advanced age, Loussier shows no signs of slowing down. With his nimble fingers and quick wit, he continues to delight audiences around the world with his masterful performances. So next time you're in the mood for some mind-bending jazz, look no further than the one and only Jacques Loussier. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
