Jean Paques



Jean Pâques (born 16 September 1901 in Liège , died 19 April 1974 ) is a Belgian musician, composer and pianist, novelty specialist.  Jean Easter, pseudonym of Jean-Pierre Paque, became a ragtime musician after the First World War . In the 1920s , he moved to Paris where he composed his first musical works in the register of novelty piano . In the late 1920s , he moved to London where he joined a successful music orchestra. Subsequently, he was an interpreter of many famous ambient music and recorded during his long career nearly forty albums.

A very pleasant piano L/P....excellent for easy listening and having a glide around the room !!
