Bach-Loussier rule. Whoever M. Loussier's bassist is really rules.

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.

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?

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.

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

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!
