Eddy Louiss (2 May 1941 – 30 June 2015) was a French jazz musician.[1][2]
His primary instrument was the Hammond organ. As a vocalist, he was a member of Les Double Six of Paris from 1961 through 1963.[3]
He worked with Kenny Clarke, René Thomas, and Jean-Luc Ponty.[4] He was a member of the Stan Getz quartet (with René Thomas and Bernard Lubat)[5] that recorded the Getz album Dynasty (1971).
In duet, he recorded with pianist Michel Petrucciani (1994)[6] and accordionist Richard Galliano (2002). His later recordings—for example, Sentimental Feeling and Récit proche—combine jazz with rock and world music.
In 1964, he was awarded the Prix Django Reinhardt.[7]
