French pianist and composer Jacques Loussier has been swinging the classics for more than four decades now - ever since he formed the Play Bach Trio in 1959, when the union of his classical background with his interest in jazz created a remarkable success story with more than six million units sold world wide. 

Jacques Loussier and his Play Bach series are a two-fold living legend. • Jacques’ music and performances bridge and amalgamate the classical and jazz genres, exemplifying the glory of each. His unique artistry is loved by audiophiles and by classical and jazz listeners alike and many classical listeners discovered jazz with his records.

He recorded his first Play Bach album in 1959; since then, he has recorded some 50 albums and, in fact, continues doing so. The recording industry cannot boast another example of any music produced with such unsurpassed creativity and quality for a sustained 60 years. 

This First Impression Music LP was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the original analogue studio tapes through to the cutting head and was pressed on 200-gram virgin vinyl at Quality Record Pressings.
