Extractions: Nothing unusual about that, one might think. But since Petrucciani was an adult standing only three feet high and weighing 65 pounds, one might expect his ambitions to have been, so to speak, closer to the ground. But, had he not aspired to achievements above his station, he might have chosen to play something more convenient such as the harmonica rather than the piano. Had he done so music would have missed one of the most powerful jazz pianists of the last two decades. The son of the Sicilian jazz guitarist Antoine Petrucciani and his French wife Anne, Michel was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, more often known as "glass bones" disease. During his life he suffered literally hundreds of bone fractures. Raised in Montelimar in a jazz-filled home, he could hum Wes Montgomery solos as soon as he could talk. He played a toy set of drums in the family band, along with his brothers Phillipe, who was also a guitarist, and Louis, who played the bass. Michel's ambition to become a pianist was fired when he saw a televised Duke Ellington concert when he was four. As a result his father bought him a toy piano but Michel was so frustrated by its limitations that he smashed it with a hammer. "It was not the sound I had heard on TV."

Extractions: LOGOS - 2000 Years With Christ is a Cantate for choir, soloists, orchestra, rhythm and horn sections. The music is by Jens Wendelboe and the Lyrics by Martin Alfsen. The lyrics are inspired by and adapted from the Gospel of John. Kor-90, a choir from Gjovik, Norway commissioned Jens Wendelboe in 1999 to write this piece for the Jubileum Year - 2000. LOGOS is somewhat of a groundbreaker within the Cantate genre as it encompasses and embraces a wide range of music styles. The Cantate had its premier concert in the Olympic Hall in Gjovik, Norway. This and all subsequent concerts have all been met with great reviews. Various movements from LOGOS were aired on NRK, the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, first on New Years Eve 99/00, and then again on a highly rated live entertainment program to raise funds for the Red Cross in August 2000. TV2, another national television corporation in Norway, produced LOGOS in its entirety and aired the enclosed program on the evening of April 14th, 2001. This time is commonly known as "Easter Eve" in Norway. Jens, composer, arranger, conductor and trombonist is a highly regarded composer of jazz and symphonic music and has written music for numerous Norwegian television productions and 11 CDs. He lived in the United States in the early 1980's, then moved his base to Norway, and has just recently returned to reside in the United States. Among his more commercially known credits in the US is his work as Donna Summer's regular musical director from 1992-1995. Martin Alfsen, musician, producer, songwriter and choir director is a recognized name in Scandinavia's gospel and religious music circles. Resumes for both are enclosed.

Extractions: By Rick Mattingly Relaxing in his Knoxville hotel room after his PASIC '83 clinic, Tony Williams reflected on what he hoped he was giving to other drummers. "I would like to be able to give off the same things that inspired me to really love the instrument and love music," he said. "That was one of the things that impressed me when I was a child and saw the people I thought were great. One thing I noticed was that they inspired others. If you can do that, that's a lot." In a life cut tragically short in February 1997 by a fatal heart attack, Tony Williams inspired countless drummers to strive for excellence and find their own voices, as he had done throughout his remarkable career.
