French trio will perform in Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland from 14 to 18 October 2006. Jacques Loussier made his international reputation by combining his interest in jazz with his love of J.S. Bach. Only a pianist with such an exceptional classical technique and deft improvisatory skill could have nurtured such a vision; using Bach’s compositions as the basis for jazz improvisation. The trio immediately caught the public imagination and for over 45 years, and millions of album sales, audiences all over the world have been electrified by Jacques Loussier and his extraordinary Trio. Known worldwide for their inspired reinvention of the work of JS Bach, the Jacques Loussier Trio also give the “Loussier treatment” to the music of Vivaldi, Ravel, Handel, Beethoven and Satie.
