Description:Dieses Album zeigt das französische Klavier-Wunderkind Michel Petrucciani in einer Solo-Aufnahme aus der Kirche von Silkeborg, 1990. MP war einer der populärsten Pianisten der 1990er Jahre aufgrund seiner au�ergewöhnlichen Technik, seiner verblüffenden musikalischen Einstellung und seines extrem dynamischen Spielstils. Seine Musik ist einfach zeitlos und magisch, sie scheint direkt aus seiner Seele zu kommen. Wie er oft zitiert wird:"Ich spiele nicht für den Kopf, sondern für die Seele. Wenn ich spiele, bin ich wie ein Vogel, der über die Landschaft fliegt, und ich kann überall landen."Dieses Album, das am 23. Juni 1990 auf dem Silkeborg Riverboat Jazz Festival in Dänemark aufgenommen wurde, ist eine Tour de Force, die den Hörer durch eine Reihe der ikonischsten Motive des Jazz führt, die alle von einem herausragenden Handwerker dekonstruiert und umgestaltet und auf dem Weg von einem wahren Meister verschönert werden. Und er erlaubt sich auch unerwartete Wendungen, die den Zuhörer garantiert zum Schmunzeln bringen. Achten Sie besonders auf seine kleinen rhythmischen und melodischen Andeutungen kleine Hinweise für das geschulte Ohr. -
This album features French piano prodigy Michel Petrucciani in a solo recording from Silkeborg Church, 1990. MP was one of the most popular pianists in the 1990's due to his extraordinary technique, his astounding musical outlook and extremely dynamic playing style. His music is simply timeless and magical, seemingly coming straight from his soul. As he is often quoted: "I'm not playing to your head, but to your soul. When I play, I'm like a bird flying over the landscape, and I can land anywhere." Recorded on June 23, 1990 at the Silkeborg Riverboat Jazz Festival in Denmark, this album is a tour de force that leads the listener through a series of the most iconic motifs in jazz, all of which are deconstructed and transformed by an outstanding craftsman and embellished along the way by a true master. And he also allows himself to insert unexpected twists and turns that are guaranteed to make the listener smile. Pay special attention to his small rhythmic and melodic tags, little hints for the well-trained ear. They reveal a musician who never grows complacent or takes himself too seriously. Here, the totality of MP's talents are exhibited in an intimate setting, where he stuns the crowd with his inventive and blindingly rapid playing. The music emanating from the man simply grabs everybody's attention. Arrangements by jazz legends like Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk and Miles Davis gets the cheeky Petrucciani treatment with his rather audacious approach to 'established' jazz standards. MP had the ability to effortlessly travel through the history of jazz on his piano, fascinating his audience in the process. This church concert clearly displays why MP quickly developed into a truly exceptional member of the international jazz scene.
Recorded during the Riverboat Jazz Festival on June 23, 1990 at Silkeborg Church in Silkeborg, Denmark. Track 3 is actually a medley of three songs: "She Did It Again," "St. Thomas" and "Caravan." The pianist is more than quoting the latter two songs, he plays them long enough to give them credit. Track 4 was published as "'Round Midnight" with Cootie Williams credited as the co-writer.
