雅克·路西耶（Jacques Loussier）是世界著名爵士乐演奏家。具有传奇色彩的法国钢琴家雅克•路西耶（Jacques Loussier），1934年10月出生于法国西北方的一个小镇翁热(Angers)，10岁时正式接触音乐，并开始学习钢琴。16岁时，进入法国国家音乐学院深造，师事南特（Yves Nat）教授。雅克目前是蜚声法国和欧美乐坛的爵士钢琴好手，并以改编古典大师的作品为爵士风格新品最为擅长。以他的姓氏起名的“雅克钢琴三重奏”已陆续在环球Telarc推出了《爵士巴赫》、《爵士四季》、《爵士萨蒂》以及千禧年大碟《哥德堡变奏曲》等著名的跨界作品录音。
他善于用爵士乐的形式演绎经典名曲，他用了 40 余年，将这两种传统风格融合得如水晶般清澈美妙。《雅克·路西耶爵士三重奏》举世无双的把巴赫、海德尔、贝多芬、莫扎特及肖邦的作品改编为爵士乐，并因此享誉世界。自从 1959 年专辑《演奏巴赫》将跨流派音乐推向顶峰后，它们也被称为《演奏巴赫三部曲》。此后曾举办过 3000 多场音乐会，售出 900 万张唱片。现在，该三部曲终于在新加坡首次亮相，演出的曲目包括巴赫、德彪西、萨蒂和拉威尔的一些精选作品。 正如《华盛顿邮报》称：“路西耶的即兴爵士编曲，赋予了音乐全新的感受。”《告示牌》（Billboard）杂志赞誉：“不曾有过如此现代风格的古典音乐爵士化精彩演绎。”这真是唱片史上的一个创举。
Pianist/composer Jacques Loussier demonstrated musical ability at an early age, starting to play at the age of ten and entering the Conservatoire National de Musique in Paris at 16. Loussiers main professor there was Yves Nat, who in turn was encouraged by Faure, Saint-Saens, and Debussy as a student himself. Loussier continued this distinguished tradition, graduating at the top of his class.
After traveling the world as an accompanist, in the late 50s Loussier formed the Play Bach Trio with Pierre Michelot and Christian Garros. The Trio fused Loussiers classical background with his interest in jazz, using Bachs compositions as the basis for improvisation. The group was an immediate success, playing many shows and selling over six million albums in 15 years.
By the end of the 70s, however, the group ran its course and Loussier retired to Provence, spending his days composing and recording at his studio in Miraval, experimenting with electronic and acoustic arrangements. The studio also played host to rock artists like Pink Floyd (including sessions for The Wall), Elton John, and Sting.
1985 marked the 300-year anniversary of Bachs birth, which prompted Loussier to re-form the Play Bach Trio with new members and a wider musical range, adding rock and electronic elements to the basic blend of classical and jazz. Loussier also continued composing through the 80s and 90s, as well as performing pieces by Bach and Ravel live and on albums like 1999s Ravel: Bolero and Bach Book 40th Anniversary Album with his signature jazzy flair. A year later, Take Bach and Music of Debussy were released.
