About
Michel Petrucciani was an extraordinary being. His size, his
constant fight against glass bone disease, his incredible energy to
push the limits of what’s possible, his XL talent, his hard work,
his true charisma and his humour place him among those who left a
deep mark on their time, transcending the borders of jazz... When
he died on January 6, 1999, Petrucciani was only 36 years old but
he left behind an impressive international career and a status as a
national hero. Building on the legacy of Bill Evans, his idol, but
also Keith Jarrett, Oscar Peterson and Bud Powell, Petrucciani
never failed in paving his own way. With a strong and articulated
playing style which leant against a sharp sense of swing and
dramatization, he always brought out the melody in his playing.
Petrucciani shone when he immersed himself in harmony and
arrangements, developing his improvisations on a lyricism that was
never too heavy.
Twenty years after his death, the pianist from Orange is celebrated
once again with a double album featuring 18 personal tracks. A way
of reminding us of the gifted composer that he was. Recorded
between 1994 and 1997 as solos, duets (with Eddy Louiss, Stéphane
Grappelli or Stefano Di Battista), a trio (with Steve Gadd and
Anthony Jackson), a trio with a string quartet (with Dave Holland,
Tony Williams and the Graffiti Strings Quartet) and a sextet (with
Gadd, Jackson, Di Battista, Bob Brookmeyer and Flavio Boltro), the
Petrucciani we find on Colors is above all a moving
narrator and, in line with the album title, a colourful artist. ©
