Loussier,Jacques Original Play Bach 1 & 2 CD

In 1959, Loussier, along with well-known bassist Pierre Michelot and drummer Christian Garros made their first attempts to translate the magic of Johann Sebastian Bach's compositions into the Jazz idiom. The albums were so successful that the pianist would repeat the formula many times in subsequent years. This edition compiles the first two volumes of Play Bach for the first time on a single set. Essential Jazz Classics.
