Anyone who likes classical music and jazz will appreciate the work of Jacques Loussier. This pianist plays Bach's work in a refreshing jazz style in a clever and professional manner. He is accompanied by Vincent Charbonnier on bass and AndrÚ Arpino on drums. Six of the eight pieces last longer than five minutes and especially number 2 of the CD is a long part ("Concerto en RÚ minor, Allegro") and
… lasts no less than 11.45 minutes, but this does provide room for soloing. A fascinating CD, which makes it clear that jazz and classical can merge almost unnoticed. This is now a CD to bring to the attention of true music lovers. (JW)more
