Play Bach Trio

Play Bach Trio

The Play Bach Trio (also credited on releases as Jacques Loussier Trio), was a Third Stream jazz piano trio that became known for their Jazz interpretations of European classical music.

The Play Bach Trio was formed in 1959 by pianist Jacques Loussier, bass player Pierre Michelot, and percussionist Christian Garros. They reworked mostly Baroque music, in particular by Johann Sebastian Bach, to fit their own style and instruments.

The group was commercially successful but less popular with critics and jazz purists.

In 1985, Jacques Loussier formed a new trio with percussionist André Arpino, and double-bassist Vincent Charbonnier.
