Jacques Loussier, piano; Marc Buronfosse, bass; André Arpino, drums
Over the course of a remarkable career now spanning more than 40 years,
Jacques Loussier has pursued a musical path that is completely unique.
He formed his legendary "Play Bach Trio", dissolved it in 1978, and
then revived it in 1985 to celebrate the tercentenary of Bach's birth.
Since then, the Trio has soared from one success to another, turning
out best-selling CDs along the way.
Drummer André Arpino, a native of Lyon, has also recorded and toured
with Yves Montand, Charles Aznavour , Ella Fitzgerald and Dizzy
Gillespie, as well as rock and pop groups. Born in Soissons, bassist
Marc Buronfosse teaches jazz at the the Conservatoire National de
Région of Paris and has performed with symphonic and chamber music
orchestras. At present, he leads his own quartet.
Mr. Loussier continues to follow his own path, staying active as a
composer of classical scores, exploring other genres, including live
television broadcasts with such colleagues as Bobby McFerrin and Dave
Brubeck, and creating the most exciting fusions in the world today of
jazz traditions and classical music.
