Free Music Review: Jazz--Simply Eloquent Jazz
Hit: 5 Stars
Music reflects the moods of the times and in our society today we are in a sour, dour, criminalistic mood. Virtue and ethic are out the window. The music of today is corporate rubbish [hasn't it always been?] with few exceptions.
This release recorded in 1984 at New York City 'Village Vanguard' is fine Jazz. The moods of the times are conveyed compositionally and instrumentally. To me this is what Jazz is: an aural method of clarification of the times and perhaps the soul of the performer / composer. The interplay of the musicians reflects (to me), sounds of life. Listen and perhaps you will hear as well.
Michel Petrucciani and his trio (Palle Danielsson, Bass, Eliot Zigmund, Drums) expressed hope and warmth to the audience that night at the 'Village' (I wish I had been in attendance).
My favorite track is number six. It is reminiscent of a lovely tune on the Pianism CD entitled "The Prayer".
This release was originally on the Concord record label as a part of the George Wein Collection. I purchased the original CD used because I could not locate a new copy. Blue Note Records wisely re-released this long-awaited masterpiece.
This is sensitive artistry using man's greatest language of music. This release is masterful genius.
Live at the Village Vanguard Poster
With this 1984 effort, originally released as a double LP, French piano phenom Michel Petrucciani (who died in 1999) goes out of his way to associate himself with the late, legendary Bill Evans. Recorded at New York's Village Vanguard, site of a famous Evans live album, it features onetime Evans drummer Eliot Zigmund (along with bassist Palle Danielsson, a favorite of Keith Jarrett's) and opens with "Nardis," a Miles Davis composition that Evans obsessed over. For all that, Petrucciani has no trouble projecting a strong individual identity in showcasing his classically dipped, bop-treated lyricism and stirring into his trio a potent mixture that fits somewhere between the innovative, interactive approach Evans favored and the pianist-plus-accompaniment approach of jazz convention. The songs, including a romping treatment of Sonny Rollins's "Oleo" and several sparkling Petrucciani originals, are epic in scope but intimate in effect. --Lloyd SachsJazz Music CDs
