Where it came from
Released in the early 1960s, Play Bach 2 is part of the influential series by the Jacques Loussier Trio, which sought to bridge the gap between Baroque classical structure and modern jazz improvisation. Following the unexpected commercial success of the debut album in 1959, Loussier continued to explore the rhythmic potential of Bach's compositions, stripping them of their formal stiffness while maintaining the integrity of the original melodic themes.
The album's design and arrangement were led by pianist Jacques Loussier alongside bassist Pierre Michelot and drummer Christian Garros. Their objective was to highlight the inherent swing and danceable qualities found within the keyboard works of Bach, an approach that was initially polarizing among traditional classical critics but embraced by a wide, international audience eager for sophisticated, crossover jazz.
