| | Eddy Louiss/Michel Petrucciani CD Eddy Louiss Discography of CDs
Recorded live at Petit Journal Montparnasse, Paris, France. Includes liner notes by Yves Chamberland.
Organ-piano duet recordings are quite rare in jazz history, making this successful collaboration rather historical in its own way. It is particularly interesting to hear pianist Michel Petrucciani, who usually dominates his own recordings, being matched up with and inspired by an equal. Organist Eddy Louiss proved to the perfect choice for this date. The duo performs originals that are often quite boppish along with three standards. Louiss' comping and basslines really push the pianist, while Petrucciani (who gets to show off his expert skills as an accompanist) constantly sets a fire under Louiss during this live date. The interplay between the pair is quite exciting and they have plenty of torrid tradeoffs. It's a highly recommended disc. ~ Scott Yanow
Personnel: Michel Petrucciani (piano); Eddy Louiss (Hammond organ).
Producers: Francis Dreyfus, Yves Chamberland.

$15.15
In an interview, Michel Petrucciani said "...my biggest inspiration is Duke Ellington, because in my very early age he gave [me] the inspiration to play the piano." For Promenade with Duke Petrucciani not only honors music Ellington composed, but music with which he was associated. There are some Billy Strayhorn pieces and other songs where Ellington's compositional contributions are arguably marginal. That the album offers an adventure in harmony is predicted by the first cut, "Caravan." Stretching ...

It may or may not be significant that Diana Krall's first album of new material since the ascendance of Norah Jones is the former's least jazzy, most pop-savvy album of her career. In any case, it marks Krall's biggest departure to date; THE GIRL IN THE OTHER ROOM is almost entirely ...

Wooden Joe Nicholas was born in New Orleans near the intersection of Frenchman and Rampart Streets on September 22, 1883. His primary influence was cornetist Buddy Bolden, who he heard perform at Globe Hall and Lincoln Park. Initially a tin flutist and clarinetist, Nicholas studied cornet with Bunk Johnson and Manuel "Manole" Perez, and blew clarinet with King Oliver and Richard M. Jones at Abadie's Cafe in Storyville. During the intermissions Nicholas played Oliver's cornet, and one night when Oliver was unable to extricate himself from a pool table at the Big 25, the "intermission" cornetist jammed with the group for an hour. Joe Nicholas proceeded to establish himself as a cornetist, playing at the 101 Ranch and at Pete Lala's and George Fewclothes', and leading a series of ensembles (he preferred sextets), the most famous being the Camelia Band. Wooden Joe Nicholas is said to have earned his moniker by serving as the sole cornetist of small brass bands in all-day street parades without apparently ever needing to rest his chops. Joe also insisted that the nickname was originally applied in reference to his boyhood habit of skipping school to go fishing and hunting in the swampy woods "back of town." The recordings released in 1994 on the American Music CD Wooden Joe Nicholas were made in New Orleans' Artisan Hall (usually pronounced Artesian Hall) at 1460 North Derbigny Street on May 10, 1945, at the home of clarinetist George Lewis one week later, and in the living room of trombonist Louis Nelson's house on July 20 and 21, 1949. This very old-fashioned ...
