Product Description

Jacques Loussier, a master of blending jazz with classical compositions, presents "Play Bach No. 3," a captivating album that showcases his unique interpretation of Johann Sebastian Bach's timeless works. Released on September 17, 2012, under the Isis label, this French jazz gem clocks in at a concise yet satisfying 32 minutes.

The album opens with a lively rendition of Bach's "Concerto italien en Fa Majeur, BWV 971," divided into three movements: Allegro, Andante, and Finale. Loussier's trio brings a fresh, improvisational energy to this Baroque masterpiece, making it feel both familiar and excitingly new. Following the concerto, the album delves into a selection of Bach's "Inventions à deux voix," showcasing Loussier's deft touch and the trio's impeccable synergy. Each invention, from the bright and cheerful "Invention No. 1 en Ut Majeur" to the introspective "Invention No. 15 en Si Mineur," is reimagined with a jazz sensibility that highlights the compositions' inherent rhythmic and harmonic sophistication.

The album concludes with a stirring performance of Bach's "Fantaisie en Ut Mineur, BWV 906," a testament to Loussier's ability to infuse classical works with a sense of spontaneity and groove. Throughout "Play Bach No. 3," Jacques Loussier demonstrates why he is a pioneer in the genre of jazz-classical fusion, offering listeners a delightful and skillfully executed exploration of Bach's music from a fresh perspective.

This LP was released in 1964.
