Michel Petrucciani: Caravan
April 8th, 2008Nathan sent me this video, and this solo performance of “Caravan” is amazing!
Being mostly a Keith Jarrett fan, I often neglect other great jazz pianists. And I’ve known about Michel Petrucciani. I just never really got into his music until now. Great stuff. His solo piano performance of “Caravan” is full of virtuosity and power. For a little guy, he’s definitely getting a “big” sound out of the piano. His technique is right-on-the-money. And I love the part where he just uses his right hand to solo through the changes while resting his left arm on the piano. I really need to learn this song on the piano. Don’t know why I never learned it. It’s part of the standard jazz repertoire.
