Just got back from my first lesson with Louis Petrucciani http://www.petrucciani.com/

He seems to be rather well known in the Jazz world, I haven't heard him play much though since we started working on theory mostly, but he seems to know his thing.

Has anyone heard (of) him?

Isn't he Michel Petrucciani's brother?

Yeah, go to the Photos page and skim down about 3 fotos, his brother's on piano. Michel is the well known one....

Not for nothing, but scroll down farther and there's a foto of Eliot Zigmund.

If Michel Petrucciani is a jazz man that died recently, yes, thats his brother.

Excellent player!!! Your a lucky student! I have him on some of his late brother's work, who always had excellent taste in bassist......if you know what I mean.

Good to hear! I've heard of latest album but only very quickly, so I couldn't really have a clear opinion. He seems very thorough and very talented at writing music. I'm hoping we will also do DB as it is his main instrument and he can probably give me a really good vibe from the beginning.
