The great jazz pianist Michel Petrucciani, in a beautiful and powerful concert captured on video at New York City"s jazz Mecca the Village Vanguard. Petrucciani lived only into his mid-thirties - yet his genius was undaunted by the bone disease that gave him small stature, made him physically vulnerable, and contributed to his untimely death in 1999. As this set fully demonstrates, he was one of the most exciting and important jazz pianists and composers his generation, writing extended pieces that showcase the richness and gorgeousness of his tone and the emotional depth of his playing. Joined here by two great sidemen, Palle Danielsson on bass and Eliot Zigmund (once a Bill Evans stalwart) on drums, Petrucciani finds room, amid five extended and swinging meditations, for a collaboration with his special guest, the great jazz guitarist Jin Hall. A wonderful evening of beautiful music. Tracklisting: 01. Regina 02. The Prayer...
