Petrucciani, Michel. (1962-1999)
Signed Photograph
A rare signed photograph of the celebrated French pianist, one of the true jazz greats who died tragically young. Born with osteogenesis imperfecta, a genetic disease that causes brittle bones and in his case, short stature, Petrucciani died of a pulmonary infection related to his condition at the age of 36. Sometimes compared to Keith Jarrett and Bill Evans, he performed with Wayne Shorter, Jim Hall, Charles Lloyd, Dizzy Gillespie and others and left some incredible recordings. He was inducted to the Légion d'honneur in Paris in 1994.An original color snapshot, 10 x 15 cms, boldly signed and dated in the year before his death. Some notes on the verso about the photograph and circumstances of signing, in very fine condition. (4246)
