The classically trained French pianist/composer Jacques Loussier has been swinging the classics for decades to sold-out houses around the world. His best-selling recordings for Telarc include his recreations of works by Bach, Vivaldi, Satie, Ravel, Debussy, and his most recent disc, 'Baroque Favorites'. For this new recording Loussier and his talented trio return to the music of Handel, with fresh new settings of the master composer's most popular works, composed for his royal patrons: Water Music and Music for the Royal Fireworks. Loussier's gentle swing, walking bass lines, syncopated chords and sassy improvisations bring a sense of wit and spontaneity to these popular classics that make them immensely enjoyable and accessible to all listeners. Personnel: Jacques Loussier - (piano), Andre Arpino - (drums), Benoit Dunoyer de Segonzac - (bass)
