Trio In Tokyo (Vinyl)

Mastered for and available on vinyl for the 1st time. The 2xLP 180g vinyl features a 350g “Struktura Leather” cover. If there is one quality that best defines Michel Petrucciani’s personality and music, it is generosity. Onstage, in the heat of the moment, within the intimate energy of a club, he expressed "A lot of musicians have a playing style that is too egotistical" ... "They play just for themselves and for an elite few. I play to give pleasure and communicate. I like to think of myself as a very happy person. That’s why it is so important for me to pass along and give to others the generosity that is indispensable in art, music, and life." This generosity shines through in Tokyo in 1997. Joined by Anthony Jackson and Steve Gadd—two friends whom he shared an almost telepathic musical connection—Michel delivers a blazing hour of piano, blending standards and original comps to unleash his boundless expressiveness. Once again, we are struck by the radiant clarity of his phrasing, the vigor and percussive precision of his touch.
