The Power Of Three - Michell Petrucianni, Jim Hall and Wayne Shorter -Live at Montreux Jazz Festival, Switzerland

A bit unusual to form a Trio like this. A pianist - Michell Petrucianni, guitarist - Jim Hall and a saxophonist - Wayne Shorter .The power of this trio showed magnificent, skillfull display of performances. They showed superb full texture melody, harmony, counter melodies and complex phrasing. Most of the performances are absolutely joyful to watch. This concert held in Montreux Jazz Festival is an intimate one and is full of challenge improvisation. Most of the performances in this concert are first takes, where this trio let go of their conscious technique and simply let their music flow.
Intelligently a combination of extremely very talented players. Jim Hall's amazing techniques gives a sense of thoughtful preparation and construction. While Michell's playing of the piano brought absolute conviction and Wayne's intricate performances captured the entire audience. Feeling his unique style in delicate, radically different interpretation but easy going tempo rendition. This Trio is truly a Masters dream . The entire concert showed very smooth swinging and distinctive playing. Indeed a masterly taste! Almost 1 hour of hybrid very classy jazz......
