Michel Petrucciani overcame the personal effects of osteogenensis imperfecta (a pearl disease that greatly scrubby his increment) to become a powerful pianist. Originally greatly influenced by Bill Evans and to a lesser extent Keith Jarrett, Petrucciani developed his own single voice. He started by performing in the class band with his guitar player father and bassist brother. At the old age of 15 he had the opportunity to fiddle with Kenny Clarke and Clark Terry, and at 17 he made his kickoff recording. Petrucciani toured France with Lee Konitz in a duette (1980) and stirred to the U.S. in 1982. At that sentence he coaxed Charles Lloyd knocked out of retirement and toured with his quartet, a reciprocally good human relationship. Petrucciani was a strong draw in the U.S., normally playacting with a quartet (sometimes featuring Adam Holzman's synthesiser for coloration) or as a soloist; in 1986 he recorded at Montreux with Jim Hall and Wayne Shorter. Although Petrucciani's power to overwhelm his affliction was admirable, his telling playing stood by itself; he died of a pneumonic infection on January 6, 1999.
