His brother, Philippe, and singer Nathalie Blanc bring us this very special album as a tribute to Michel Petrucciani. Philippe often accompanied Michel on guitar. Michel saw his compositions as songs and dreamed of putting words to them. This is a musical portrait of a highly accomplished artist and highlights his gifts as a vocalist who could juggle with words and make them swing. He was an ace on six strings, having grown up listening to Kenny Burrell and Wes Montgomery.

Michel liked to say that his compositions were songs. :: With a musical portrait retracing his life, made by those closest to him and stepped in his personality, Nathalie and Philippe are acting on the wish dear to Michel’s heart of writing words to his music.
Nathalie too had long dreamed of doing this and is now making the dream come true. As she writes and sings: “his soul is given up to us”.
Having so often accompanied his brother on the guitar, Philippe certainly knows the repertoire! He and Nathalie chose the pieces they loved the best, from I Just Say Hello (Une vie), one of his earliest compositions, to Looking Up (Les étoiles), very popular to a wide audience.
The usual close-knit quartet with Dominique di Piazza on bass (replaced here by Michel Zenino on double bass on a few titles), Manhu Roche on drums, Philippe Petrucciani on guitar and Nathalie Blanc, as they appeared on the last album, Este Mundo, now becomes a septet. They are joined by Fabrizio Bosso on trumpet and bugle, Stefano Cantini on tenor and alto saxophones and by Franscesco Castellani on trombone. Musical director Philippe arranged Michel’s music in collaboration with Philippe Festou. -Catherine Vallon-Barry
