The Jacques Loussier Trio Play Bach - 1989 Munich Concert
Dieter Hens
Jacques Loussier, Vincent Charbonnier
The Jacques Loussier Trio represents something of an anomaly: a musical ensemble devoted to presenting jazzed-up versions of traditional classical pieces. The group originated in the late 1950s via the innovative efforts of Jacques Loussier, founder of the Play Bach Trio, then reformed some thirty-five years later (c. 1985) with Loussier, bassist Vincent Charbonnier and percussionist André Arpino, and an emphasis on stringing together an entirely new repertoire. This concert release presents an extended set by the second incarnation of the group. Selections include: Pastorale in C minor, Gavotte in B Minor, Fugue No. 5 in D Major, and Gavotte in D Major.
