I really like the JLT. Great stuff!
Just soooo relaxing {#Notworthy}
Bach-Loussier rule. Whoever M. Loussier's bassist is really rules.
Coolest! {#Chillpill}

Truly remarkable interpretation of this.

People who plan to purchase his works should look at Vivaldi's Four Seasons as well.
Also his Ravel's Bolero disk is pretty good too.

NICE. VERY NICE. WONDERFULLY NICE. JAZZ, SOOTHING, THIS SATURDAY MORNING. WILL PREPARE ME FOR WHAT'S TO COME. CHAOS OF THE DAY. THEN YOU CAN PLAY OFF THE WALL MUSIC. MELLOW PEOPLE, MELLOW.
 
It didn't soothe that much, it seems, since you're still shouting... {#Tongue-out}

Hey Bill - you have the wrong album cover pictured here! Thanks for playing this though - going over to itunes to purchase now.

NICE. VERY NICE. WONDERFULLY NICE. JAZZ, SOOTHING, THIS SATURDAY MORNING. WILL PREPARE ME FOR WHAT'S TO COME. CHAOS OF THE DAY. THEN YOU CAN PLAY OFF THE WALL MUSIC. MELLOW PEOPLE, MELLOW.
This is mij most favourite Jazz player. I know Jacques loussier for years. This is the first time I hear him on Paradise!
Superb!!!! Did not know this album though.
Wonderfull.. super trio! One of my favourite artists.
I have his 'Play Bach' albums. Certainly going to buy this one!

Nice.
E.S.T. and Christian Scott on RP would be nice as well.

I used "nice" in the beginning of the sentence, and then reiterated it; that's perfectly fine usage. "Nice" in American English means pleasing; agreeable; delightful. As a jazz trio I'm all for them, as a baroque pianist—many run of the mill harpsichordists could do better. Perhaps you should try the original Gould?
Nice, but the last bit of playlist just doesn't gel....Bill?

As they're a trio, and having seen these masters play, one has to say that the drummer is also very present and complementing the work, in order for the gestalt to happen: the sum of the three players adds up to 11.

While I normally love Brandonburg #5, I'm not feeling the love for this jazzified rendition.

Yes, Jaco played on a few Joni LPs using a fretless electric bass--which he invented by ripping the frets from a Fender and coating the fingerboard with epoxy. He called frets ''speedbumps.'' Genius notion from a genius composer and player. He turned the electric bass into a solo instrument. RIP, Jaco.
although this has nothing to do with this trio - seen them live anyone? - i have, and they left the hall spellbound
I hate musak!
Jacques Lobster?
I didn't miss it this time.Wonderfull.
Damn!I missed this.
mmm, trés tasty!
This is making me sad, maybe its the after effects of "I Grieve."
It ain't Boroque... they fixed it finally!

bach's music is as emotional as any other music the reason jazzers get off on bach so much is because of the brilliance of the multi-linear voice leading - it's great fun riffing off bach's progressions which is not to say it's always so interesting/satisfying to listen to someone noodling bach lines in a jazz context...

Very nice. Reminds me of Hejira. Which jazz great was Joni ripping off, uh I mean honoring, with her own riffs, on that album...? EDIT: Woops, a little research shows she was not only honoring, but hosting, Jaco Pastorius on bass. D'oh!

You DEFINITELY need to get out more. And I don't mean to the mall. Little_Wing wrote:

Nordstrom's would be so lucky as to have a pianist this talented.

Great Jacques Loussier! I was lucky enough to hear him in concert in my hometown, and after the concert even talked with him and his bandmates. BTW He is a very kind guy.
lovely
much better than another of their jazz versions of classical also on the RP playlist: (click here) this at least sounds natural and not forced into the genre.

Me too, but this does not detract from his work. The opposite, I would say. Jazz arrangements of classical music are nothing new, and not necessarily either good or bad. It depends on the performance. This is a good one, I think.
Nice to work to.

Bach is Bach, some things are still sacred.
Played same time as yesterday? A little short on the rotation methinks.
Schwanging!!!
Far and away the worst rendition of this piece ever. Technically proficient, I guess, but entirely stripped of soul. Let me out of this elevator!
Continuing my mission to rate all classical and jazz with 9's and 10's....

That mall security job really getting to ya, PG? I think this is a very clever rework. Not everything has to be note for note in my book. Excellent tune.

He founded the Play Bach Trio, which used Bach's compositions as the basis for jazz improvisation.

I know that somewhere in the world it is currently chill-out time. But for me it's currently 9:30AM and this just makes me want to go back to bed.
Not bad, but I prefer my Bach straight up, with a chamber orchestra, please.
wondeful - can't remember the last time that I heard this and don't recal ever hearing Loussier on the radio. Thanks!
Nice, but dangerously close to being smooth jazz. That said, this would be perfect for Sunday brunch background music.
I would like to hear more from these guys. Great musicians who are well integrated. Looking at the disc notes, I see they are so well integrated that the five musicians are called a trio !!!
Great!

Yes, that would be great. Glenn Gould! It would also be great for RP to dig deeper into jazz every once in a while. What we get is much appreciated (by me, at least). A great every once in a while like Duke (C Jam Blues, Sentimental Lady) or Louis ( but not What a Wonderful World). Just a thought.
This station is like a box of chocolates. It's time I start putting my $$ where my mouth is.
Bravo! Thanks for a great one.
