Me too... but I'm guessing you'd get a different reaction over in the Pianist Corner.

I love that time is the true test of music. So thank-you Bach. I also think it's great to be creative and interpretive. I'm going to guess that Bach himself would like this arrangement. I don't have the luxury of a bassist or drummer so I'll have to play it the old-fashioned way. rada

Love this. Risky, dangerous, gorgeous, and confident. Bach would have flipped.

Me too... but I'm guessing you'd get a different reaction over in the Pianist Corner. I thought the title love and hate was going to be about the vast differences between the loving non-classical section and the hatefully intolerant classical section.

Jacques Loussier Trio? I have several of his trio's CDs. He is primarily known for Bach, but they do others, too. Have you heard Handel's Water Music or the Royal Fireworks Suite? http://www.amazon.com/Handel-Water-...mp;s=music&qid=1241130611&sr=1-1

What I'd really like to find would be a Loussier version of the Busoni version of Bach's Chaconne.
Rumor has it that he recorded it, but it's so powerful, they had to make it illegal.

I am learning Prelude and Fugue number 12 from WTC II for my upcoming grade 8 exam and my teached suggested I listen to some Loussier and try 'swinging it' some whilst practicising - much in the vein of Kreisler's scales article about using dotted rhythms as a means of improving evenness of touch etc. All good fun I think, and perhaps even a bridge between those camps BJones feels so aggrieved (mock?) about..... actually I doubt they really exist - after all, my teacher is absolutely fine with the idea of jazzing up classical (albeit largely as a means of improving my tone and touch for classical performance...) so from where we see it "it's ok - we won't be burned at the stake by either fictional factional.. Am glad people enjoyed the clip - I am certainly thinking of getting some stuff of his on CD

Tolerable to 3-14 but he starts to murder it after that.

What's not to love?! I wasn't acquainted with the Jacques Loussier Trio, and I agree with Riddler that the Bach-Busoni Chaconne would get an awesome treatment by them. A couple of years ago, I became aware of the Andrzej Jagodziński Trio and their jazz interpretations of Chopin. It's great stuff; they have some videos on YouTube, too: Jagodziński Trio on YouTube Steven
