Biography
Jacques Loussier was a French jazz pianist whose trio, formed in 1959, turned Bach into swinging jazz on the million-selling 'Play Bach' albums for #Decca Records#. A prolific film composer as well, he led later editions of the trio for five decades, taking the music of Bach, Vivaldi and Debussy into concert halls worldwide before his death in 2019. His trio concept proved endlessly adaptable across six decades.
