Jacques Loussier.

Goldfinch60



He’s gone!

How could that be?

All my life I have known him,

His music pervades my life.

I have heard all his interpretations,

The classical composers

Were putty in his hands

As their notes were transformed

Into the glory of Jazz.

Bach and Mozart,

Handel and Schuman,

Ravel and Satie

So many composers,

So many variations,

As he brought the joy of jazz

Into my world.

I will miss him,

But his music will live on,

Live on in my life,

Live on for eternity.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I have just heard that Jacques Loussier has died. I have been listening to him all my life and he has always been my 'go to' musician if I cannot determine what music I would like to hear. So sad that he has gone, but I have most of his music in my collection so he will not be forgotten. RIP Jacques.

      A fine write and tribute Gold. I missed Joseph The Hymnographer. He would give me tips on hymn-poems. Well, he was last around in the 9th Century, when I met him in person - before 1066!
