Love me some Loussier. Check out his version of Beethoven's 7th Second Movement. Awesome stuff.

That awful brain-freeze feeling when you realize that you mondegreened some lyrics to a song you've heard hundreds of times over the course of your life...

The gavotte was a dance (for about three centuries). Can you imagine trying to dance to this? I admire it, but I don't like it. A little too much PDQ Bach influence. Now if you could punch out the piano, maybe the bass line would be good enough ...
 
Ha! This is the first time I've heard anyone talk about PDQ Bach ever. I got the Wurst of his in a pile of records from God knows where and it provided hours of endless amusement. Well, make that about an hour of amusement, but still pretty good.

If I wanted to hear classical crap I would turn my radio dial to the lower left side.

Thankfully there is MUTE.

I just need to do this and yes, it is base level. Sometimes, when you take part in democracy you just have to go through your gut and here's where it leads to - {#Moon}

I'm enjoying this but I doubt a whole CD of it would get played very much here.

Er, you're being deliberately obtuse. What's dated is the Jacques Loussier jazzifying of classics, not the classics themselves. RTFM.

I would think so. His original music is swinging in its own way very much, too.

Pretentiously baroque. Get over yourself. As they say in Ireland. What are you like?

This tune could have been used very effectively in Rushmore or the Royal Tenenbaums. I love it!

This is good, but I believe others have gotten it. Check these guys out sometime: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Jazz_Quartet

This swings, grooves, and makes my day. Bach swings also without Loussier, but he made it clear.
Posted 19 years ago by rklein    [ Reply ]
Surprising, in a positive way! Normally I don't like combinations like this of classical and pop/jazz/whatever, but this one is very tasteful indeed!

My moms used to jam this CD all the time...totally dig what they're doing. Nice job again RP.

Can't say I disagree about anything & everything fitting on RP. That being said, I still don't like this :-) (esp. at the hour of the morning). I do realize that others like this & I just turn down my speakers for the few songs I don't like. No biggie. Pyro wrote:

If you were to describe this to me without playing it, I would be interested. In theory, I should like this. In reality, it doesn't do much for me. Technically fine, but not much soul.
