Michel Petrucciani, Anthony Jackson & Steve Gadd: Trio In Tokyo
ByOne listen to Trio In Tokyo and it is apparent that this is Petrucciani's group. The diminutive pianist leads while Gadd and Jackson provide a killer rhythm section. Petrucciani, who passed away in January 1999 was a truly gifted player who could bring listeners to tears with his inventive strokes (an example would be the tune "Home"). He was also a player who could swing and be extremely inventive. This is evidenced by the wonderful "A Little Piece In C for U."
Trio In Tokyo also lets the listener hear studio stalwarts Gadd and Jackson in a live setting. Often thought of as "studio technicians," these two veteran jazzmen really shine on this recording.
Don't miss this one. It's a rare gem that can never be replicated!
