1	The Best of Play Bach (1990) more music like this by Jacques Loussier add to wishlist Jacques Loussier came up with his Play Bach jazz conceptions while still in the conservatory around 1950. He started recording them in 1959, and he's been at it ever since, adapting other classical composers along the way, but always returning to Bach. It made sense then, and it makes sense now, for Bach's linear, continuo-driven, contrapuntal ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $7.99!
2	Breathe: The Relaxing Piano (2005) more music like this by Horacio Gutiérrez (piano), Jacques Loussier Trio, John O'Conor (piano), Lang Lang (piano), Michael Chertock (piano), Rudolf Serkin (piano) add to wishlist see all copies from $3.70! new only from $8.24!
3	Solo Piano: Impressions on Chopin's Nocturnes (2004) more music like this by Jacques Loussier add to wishlist Jacques Loussier has made a career out of playing classical themes in a jazz setting. Born in France in 1934, he came to fame in the late 1950s with his Play Bach Trio, a group that stayed together 20 years, transforming the themes of Bach into creative and melodic jazz. Since then he has put together another trio in which he interprets not just ... see all copies from $8.45! new only from $14.39!
4	Jacques Loussier Plays Bach (2007) more music like this by Jacques Loussier add to wishlist In 1959, the French born pianist hit upon a bold and brilliant musical idea that was to forge his international reputation: creating a musical hybrid that blended his love of jazz with his vast appreciation for J.S. Bach. He founded the Play Bach Trio, which used Bach's compositions as the basis for jazz improvisation. The trio immediately caught ... see all copies from $15.28! new only from $15.28!
5	The Four Seasons (1997) more music like this by Jacques Loussier Trio add to wishlist Pianist Jacques Loussier has certainly had an unusual career, much of it spent performing jazz interpretations of Bach's music. While his original works have been noteworthy, Loussier's most famous projects have been his transformations of Bach's music. In 1997 he tackled Vivaldi's Four Seasons, four concertos that he performed and recorded with ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $14.39!
6	Bach: The Brandenburgs (2006) more music like this by Jacques Loussier Trio add to wishlist Depending on who you talk to, the third stream movement of the '50s was either an absolute blessing or an absolute curse. There are racial separatists who claim that third stream was an assault on African-American culture because it tried to "whiten" jazz, and there are equally silly individuals who insist that Beethoven and Mozart were jazz ... see all copies from $8.62! new only from $14.39!
7	The Music of Debussy (2000) more music like this by The Jacques Loussier Trio add to wishlist When Jacques Loussier gave the music of Johann Sebastian Bach the jazz treatment (as others, notably the Modern Jazz Quartet, had before him), it worked really well. The tumbling flow of Bach's contrapuntal lines, the square rhythms that just beg to be played with a swing feel -- everything about Bach that makes his music the farthest thing from ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $14.39!

13	Bach Book 40th Anniversary Album (1999) by Jacques Loussier add to wishlist There's something ironic about the attraction jazz musicians all seem to feel for the work of J.S. Bach. It's not that jazz and classical music aren't related -- on the contrary, jazz itself is a fusion of the rhythmic complexity of African music and the harmonic complexity of European music -- it's that Bach's particular genius was for ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $18.88!
14	Baroque Favorites (2001) more music like this by Jacques Loussier Trio add to wishlist Jacques Loussier has spent most of his career blending jazz and classical styles into a lightly swinging and highly melodic hybrid.

20	Ravel: Bolero (1999) more music like this by Jacques Loussier add to wishlist Ravel: Bolero continues Jacques Loussier's series of jazz-inspired interpretations of classical music.
