Jacques Loussier, RIP

I was saddened to learn of the passing of Jacques Loussier, who died a few days ago at the age of 84.

Despite receiving disdainful criticism from both Jazz and Classical enthusiasts alike, Loussier’s ‘Play Bach’ performances were very popular with most music lovers and the Jacques Loussier Trio went from strength to strength.

I side with those who wisely ignore the musical snobbery displayed by some regarding his novel and imaginative interpretations. In short, I enjoy Loussier’s work very much indeed.
