Eddy Louiss

French jazz organist, noted for his work on the Hammond organ and collaborations with European and American jazz musicians.

Born 1941, died 2015. Emerged in the 1960s. Collaborated with René Thomas, Kenny Clarke and Stan Getz. Recorded the 1968 Eddy Louiss Trio album.

A 2007 DeBaser review by renémartin celebrates the 1968 Eddy Louiss Trio album as a "Masterpiece." The review highlights the trio lineup (Eddy Louiss on organ, René Thomas on guitar, Kenny Clarke on drums) and praises interplay, tempos and solos. The reviewer connects this work to later collaborations (Dynasty, Stan Getz) and repeatedly lauds René Thomas.
