Bach-Loussier rule. Whoever M. Loussier's bassist is really rules.

Truly remarkable interpretation of this.

People who plan to purchase his works should look at Vivaldi's Four Seasons as well.
Also his Ravel's Bolero disk is pretty good too.

This is mij most favourite Jazz player. I know Jacques loussier for years. This is the first time I hear him on Paradise!
Superb!!!! Did not know this album though.
Wonderfull.. super trio! One of my favourite artists.
I have his 'Play Bach' albums. Certainly going to buy this one!

I used "nice" in the beginning of the sentence, and then reiterated it; that's perfectly fine usage. "Nice" in American English means pleasing; agreeable; delightful. As a jazz trio I'm all for them, as a baroque pianist—many run of the mill harpsichordists could do better. Perhaps you should try the original Gould?

As they're a trio, and having seen these masters play, one has to say that the drummer is also very present and complementing the work, in order for the gestalt to happen: the sum of the three players adds up to 11.

although this has nothing to do with this trio - seen them live anyone? - i have, and they left the hall spellbound

bach's music is as emotional as any other music the reason jazzers get off on bach so much is because of the brilliance of the multi-linear voice leading - it's great fun riffing off bach's progressions which is not to say it's always so interesting/satisfying to listen to someone noodling bach lines in a jazz context...

Great Jacques Loussier! I was lucky enough to hear him in concert in my hometown, and after the concert even talked with him and his bandmates. BTW He is a very kind guy.

much better than another of their jazz versions of classical also on the RP playlist: (click here) this at least sounds natural and not forced into the genre.

Me too, but this does not detract from his work. The opposite, I would say. Jazz arrangements of classical music are nothing new, and not necessarily either good or bad. It depends on the performance. This is a good one, I think.

He founded the Play Bach Trio, which used Bach's compositions as the basis for jazz improvisation.

Nice, but dangerously close to being smooth jazz. That said, this would be perfect for Sunday brunch background music.

Yes, that would be great. Glenn Gould! It would also be great for RP to dig deeper into jazz every once in a while. What we get is much appreciated (by me, at least). A great every once in a while like Duke (C Jam Blues, Sentimental Lady) or Louis ( but not What a Wonderful World). Just a thought.
