BEST OF "PLAY BACH" JAZZ - JACQUES LOUSSIER TRIO

“Well, Loussier shows that Bach can be adapted to jazz … Turning a deaf ear to any cries of sacrilege, let me say that I have enjoyed this and I find its appeal has not diminished despite repeated plays. I wish I could say the same about all I receive for review ! … drummer Garros is a tower of rhythmic strength, never once putting a hand or foot wrong. Michelot, of course, is one of the great bass players in jazz, while Loussier, knows what jazz is about.”
