Michel Petrucciani Trio - Live At The Village Vanguard (1984)

A very expressive and thrilling live trio date at the renowned 'Village Vanguard' in New York by three great artists, leader Michel Petrucciani is in fine form alongside two equally brilliant jazz musicians; bassist Palle Danielsson and drummer Eliot Zigmund. Here's what Michel had to say about the remarkable event. "It is very difficult to speak of Art. I would rather simply say "Please close your eyes, and take what is there to give." However, I wish to tell you about the pleasure we feel bringing you this music. For me, working with Palle and Eliot is a great honor. When we shape the rhythms and frequencies, and all the magical sounds come out ... it is blessing, because the communication is so spontaneous. So fresh. So simple. And we like to think it is so like life itself. I love the feeling we all have of wishing to share those colors and joy to make the people happy. Thank You. ~ Michel Petrucciani.
