An acclaimed French pianist known for his jazz interpretations of classical works, Jacques Loussier rose to prominence leading his trio in the 1960s. A gifted classical musician in his youth, Loussier gravitated toward jazz and issued a series of innovative, genre-bending albums under the Play Bach title in which he reworked the music of Johanne Sebastian Bach.

Over the years, he applied this same approach to works by other classical composers, and even expanded his palette, exploring electronics and Latin-traditions on albums like 1979's Pulsion, 1999's Ravel: Bolero, and 2011's Schumann: Kinderszenen (Scenes from Childhood). He also composed for film and television, working out of his Studio Miraval in Provence.

Serge, I'm a big fan of Jacques Loussier

And here's more on Jacques Loussier's Miraval studio in Provence (where Pink Floyd recorded their album The Wall in 1977) and how it evolved into a wine estate producing one of the best selling Rosé, thanks to a partnership between Brad Pitt/Anjelina Jolie and the Perrin family of France (owners of the prestigious Chateau de Beaucastel in Chateauneuf du Pape)...

Very cool, thanks for sharing Joel. I was not aware of the connection.

A cellist since the age of eight, Keating pursued electronic music and contemporary composition as part of her Liberal Arts studies at Sarah Lawrence College in New York. After graduation she moved to San Francisco and built a career as an information architect and data analyst while moonlighting as a cellist in rock bands. Keating eventually combined her love of music and technology, using a computer to live-layer her cello and performing for late-night after-parties in her San Francisco warehouse.

She is known for both her use of technology - which she uses to sample her cello onstage - and for her DIY approach, releasing her music online without the help of a record label.

Haven’t heard this record in a while (some years ago).
Impressive the amount of details I was missing in my old, poor system...
