Eddy Louiss has spent most of his career leading his own group in France but twice has made particularly notable recordings, both on organ. He had sung as a member of the Double Six (1961-63), played piano with Johnny Griffin in the mid-'60s and worked at times with Kenny Clarke and Jean-Luc Ponty. But he is best-known for recording Dynasty with Stan Getz (1971) and for his recent duet set with pianist Michel Petrucciani (1994) on Dreyfus.
