Michel Petrucciani Trio - Jazz Club Montmartre 1st Set [VINYL]

Storyville Records proudly presents the first set of Michel Petrucciani Trio's 'Jazz Club Montmartre - CPH 1988', which is being released on two separate vinyl LPs together with the second set. Recorded during a memorable performance at Copenhagen's Jazzhus Montmartre on July 3rd, 1988, the album captures legendary French pianist Michel Petrucciani in the company of two jazz icons, Gary Peacock on bass and Roy Haynes on drums. While the trio only came together for a brief European tour in the summer of 1988, the chemistry they shared on stage was undeniable.

The trio, propelled by a studio session the previous autumn, radiates synergy. On these recordings, listeners will rediscover Petrucciani's unique lyrical universe, with special arrangements of classics like "My Funny Valentine" and "In a Sentimental Mood". Petrucciani's virtuosic playing reveals a rare sense of urgency, joy, and an unrelenting passion for life. As Gary Peacock and Roy Haynes were at the height of their careers - Haynes playing with Chick Corea and Peacock with Keith Jarrett - they were drawn to Petrucciani, recognizing the greatness of his artistry. Together, they formed a trio, bound by a shared intuition and respect for one another, and this performance at Montmartre is a testament to that fleeting moment of jazz brilliance.

This concert took place at the midpoint of Petrucciani's meteoric career, 12 years after his Paris debut and 11 years before his untimely passing. Despite the physical challenges posed by osteogenesis imperfecta, Petrucciani's fierce determination, boundless love for music, and infectious laughter inspired all who knew him.

Michel Petrucciani (1962-1999) was one of the most brilliant pianists to emerge from Europe's jazz scene. He rose to international acclaim, performing with the likes of Charles Lloyd, Wayne Shorter, Joe Lovano, Tony Williams, Stephane Grappelli and many other greats. Known for his lyrical style, rhythmic power, and infectious joie de vivre, Petrucciani's legacy continues to enchant listeners around the world.
