Jacques Loussier and the Pekinels Perform at Bilkent
A classical jazz trio led by Jacques Loussier performed to a full house at the Bilkent Concert Hall last Wednesday evening. Their interpretation of Bach and Vivaldi, with three pianos, bass, and drums, was enthusiastically embraced by the entire audience. The concert was organized through the efforts of Mehmet Başman,
Sevgi Başman, and their Sevda Cenap and Foundation as part of the Ankara Music Festival.
Jacques Loussier began playing piano at the age of ten. When Loussier was only 16, he was admitted to the Conservatoire Nationale de Musique in Paris. In 1959 he hit upon the idea that was to make his international reputation: combining his interest in jazz with his love of J.S. Bach.
Loussier thereupon founded the Play Bach Trio, which used Bach’s compositions as the basis for jazz improvisations. The Trio was reformed in 1985 with two new members, André Arpino, considered one of Europe’s master drummers, and bass player Benoit Dunoyer de Segonzac.
