Out of print in the U.S.! Import reissue of the 1991 album by the great Jazz pianist. 11 tracks including 'September Second', 'Like That' and 'Laws Of Physics'. Blue Note.
Pianist Michel Petrucciani, who during the early part of his career was heavily influenced by Bill Evans, gradually developed his own sound. By 1991 he was using Adam Holzman on synthesizer with his quintet (which on this date also includes bassist Anthony Jackson, drummer Omar Hakim and percussionist Steve Thornton) to play colors behind his piano. In addition, Petrucciani was backed by funky rhythms and emphasized his own original compositions. Rather than selling out to blatant commercialism, Petrucciani had actually found his own voice within the "contemporary" setting. The music on his CD is of consistently high quality (despite a few too many fadeouts). Highlights include "Miles Davis' Licks" (a blues that utilizes some of Davis' late-period nursery rhyme melodies), the intense "Brazilian Suite #3," a playful jam on "Laws of Physics" and the Keith Jarrett-ish "P'tit Louis." Actually, all 11 of Michel Petrucciani's originals are worth hearing and, despite the brief playing time (39 minutes) of this CD, it is recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
Personnel: Michel Petrucciani, Adam Holzman (keyboards), Anthony Jackson (bass), Omar Hakim (drums), Steve Thorton (percussion).

| | Roy Hargrove Emergence CD (2009)
Playground album
$13.99
Trumpeter Roy Hargrove has been in some exotic musical environments in the past -- from his various quintets, quartets, his Afro-Cuban outfit Crisol, and his funk band the RH Factor, he's pretty much done it all. And while he's played in various big bands before, he's never led his own until now. Emergence on the Groovin' High imprint features a 19-member big band, playing a set of 11 standards and originals by Hargrove and bandmembers as well as a track written for the leader by none other than pianist Chucho Valdés -- who doesn't appear here. The roots for this project go all the way back to 1995 when Hargrove formed a big band to play the New York Jazz Festival. The group went through many metamorphoses when he played a series of club and festival gigs over the intervening years. The ...

Music uplifts, consoles, reminds, and sometimes, it allows you to drift off to other times and places. I hope this music stirs your heart. Bryan LaneI first heard Bryan sing in church. I was so moved by his voice and his performance that I felt compelled to approach him about recording an album. Every time I listen to this cd, which I do constantly, I am overwhelmed by his honest and sensitive rendering of both lyric and melody. He is truthfully one of the best interpreters of song that I have ever heard, and, to me, he is unlike any artist of hiskind. This cd is for those who love beautiful music, timeless love songs, and a romantic, classical voice so pure and true that it goes straight to your heart. Jim WeatherlyBryan grew up in Lafayette, Indiana. He was graduated from Purdue University with a degree in mamagement. While attending Purdue, Bryan was the featured soloist for the Purdue glee club. he is in the glee club hall of fame.For more than twenty years, Bryan has sung in church choirs, musical ...
