JACQUES LOUSSIER TRIO PLAY BACH 1-3 (3 CDS)

One of the joys of listening to music is making new personal discoveries, often thanks to the brilliance of an artist skilled in the art of communication. Jacques Loussier is such a man. His enthusiasm for blending the seemingly different worlds of jazz and classical music helped introduce the joys of both to a wider, gratefully receptive audience. A superb pianist and composer, in the early Sixties he charmed the world with a series of albums that took both public and critics by surprise. The pleasure they unleashed stemmed from the success of a simple idea: performing the music of Bach, accompanied by a swinging rhythm section. Enjoy this 3CD set with the first three volumes of The Jacques Loussier Trio Play Bach.
