Contradictions Music of Michel Petrucciani

Reseña del editor This recording focuses on the original compositions of pianist and composer Michel Petrucciani. Christian Jacob\'s wonderful arrangements and new take on these compositions is a reminder of why there is always a need to expand our musical boundaries beyond the jazz standards we are already familiar with. Petrucciani\'s music is the perfect vehicle for this trio. You will appreciate the level of communication and musicianship in this trio. Michel\'s compositions, although very challenging, allow the trio to really stretch musically, and that musical interplay and desire to serve the essence of these songs is what makes these beautiful compositions accessible and fun. The audience will hear how much fun the trio is having in the studio, but they will also hear the reverence that is shared for this great music, even if the songs are unfamiliar to them. When you listen to this CD, you\'ll hear a collective approach. The goal is that all of the elements of this recording- the compositions, the interpretations, and the individual performances- will combine to create a more powerful impact than any one individual element. This is where Christian Jacob excels. He is as strong as any solo voice out there and yet his playing inside the trio is no less astounding. As on their previous critically acclaimed CD "Styne & Mine", pianist Christian Jacob, bassist Trey Henry and drummer Ray Brinker, demonstrate a collective brilliance that has to be experienced. Artista biografía Christian Jacob began playing at the age of four and graduated with First Prize from the “Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique” in Paris. In 1983, he enrolled at the Berklee College of Music in Boston and later joined the faculty. While attending Berklee “Downbeat Magazine” honored Christian as “Top Collegiate Jazz Soloist” and he won the 6th Annual Great American Jazz Piano Competition in Jacksonville, Florida. Christian later toured with Maynard Ferguson, who produced Christian’s two Concord recordings: “Maynard Ferguson Presents Christian Jacob” and “Time Lines”. Christian quickly began performing and recording with many of today’s jazz legends Flora Purim and Airto Moreira, Phil Woods, and Bill Holman to name just a few. By the mid 1990’s Christian teamed up with vocalist Tierney Sutton, drummer Ray Brinker and bassist Trey Henry to record their first CD together, “Introducing Tierney Sutton”. The band became known for its sophisticated, refreshing arrangements, and the obvious musical joy they felt when playing together. They developed into a tightly knit group that recorded five critically acclaimed CDs for Telarc Jazz. “Unsung Heroes”, “Blue in Green”, “Something Cool”, “Dancing in the Dark” and “I’m With the Band”, which was recorded live at Birdland, New York, and nominated for a Grammy in 2005. In the midst of his success with the Tierney Sutton Band, Christian released his third trio CD, this time on WilderJazz. The 2004 release, “Styne & Mine”, is a tribute to the music of Jule Styne, and reached #3 in the jazz radio charts. In 2006 The Christian Jacob Trio will release “Contradictions” A Look at the Music of Michel Petrucciani
