French pianist Jacques Loussier has been swinging the classics for over four decades now -- ever since he formed the Play Bach Trio in the late '50s. Selling over six million albums in fifteen years, the union of his classical background with his interest in jazz created a remarkable success story. On BAROQUE FAVORITES, Loussier and his partners tackle some of today's most widely heard and popular Baroque classics, including the enormously popular Canon in D by Pachelbel and the Adagio for Strings by Albinoni. The Jacques Loussier Trio will be making its first extended North American tour in late October/early November, with appearances in New York, Washington, D.C., Virginia, Florida, Georgia, and Los Angeles, California.
A full tour schedule for Dave Brubeck and Jacques Loussier is available on the Telarc website.
