Jacques Loussier - Pulsion / Sous La Mer '1981;2021

Tracks list

An acclaimed French pianist known for his jazz interpretations of classical
works, Jacques Loussier rose to prominence leading his trio in the 1960s. A
gifted classical musician in his youth, Loussier gravitated toward jazz and
issued a series of innovative, genre-bending albums under the Play Bach title in
which he reworked the music of Johanne Sebastian Bach. Over the years, he
applied this same approach to works by other classical composers, and even
expanded his palette, exploring electronics and Latin-traditions on albums like
1979s Pulsion, 1999s Ravel: Bolero, and 2011s Schumann: Kinderszenen (Scenes
from Childhood). He also composed for film and television, working out of his
Studio Miraval in Provence. Following a stroke in 2011 he retired from the stage
and passed away in 2019 at the age of 84.
