Musicians
Jacques
Fred Petrus worked with a lot of great musicians. This list
presents all known musicians based on the information found
on the covers. The list is not complete because some covers
does not point out the musicians on that particular recording.
But the list gives nonetheless valuable and interesting knowledge
about those numerous musicians.
The
information for each musician includes full artist name, instrument/s
(only the instruments played during the time with Petrus), appearances
and additional information like interviews and links to official
or any other website of great importance.
The
string players on Change's 1981 album are excluded.
Did
you play sing for Petrus or know any other vocalists that did
and can't be found on the list? If so, please
feel free to send an e-mail to:

One
of the industry’s most respected and talented musical
collaborators deep involved with jazz/funk for more
than 30 years. One of his albums "That special
part of me" in 1988 really bring out amazing soul
jazz featuring elegant masterpieces like "Quiet
passion". Quots from Gumbs like "Music,not about
what it is, but about what it does" and “Music has a
healing force that is immeasurable and I am committed
to being a part of that healing process” really show
the wishes of his inner spirit.
