He rounded up a bass fiddle and some drums, and started noodling his way through the Bach fugues and preludes, "looking for passages that could be swung." He found them-or made them-and the result was an album titled Play Bach (Decca Disques). It sold briskly. Encouraged, Loussier recorded Play Bach, No. 2 and most recently turned to the Italian Concerto, Chromatic Fantasy and Two-Part Inventions as the inspiration for Play Bach...
