French pianist and composer Jacques Loussier built jazz dreams on classical impressions by constantly striving to reinterpret established serious works, like Chopin's Nocturnes and Bach's preludes and fugues. The Jacques Loussier Trio's reading of Erik Satie's foggy, melancholic “Gymnopédie No. 1” proves to be a worthwhile fantasy on one of music's most well-known themes, while his interpretation of “Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune” draws out brilliant tension from Debussy's ambiguous melodies and extended harmonies, transforming them into a unique study of temporality and space.
