Customer Reviews:

Great album by the master Petrucciani.......2006-04-30

Petrucciani was one of greatest jazz pianists of the world (he died in 1999 at 36).

Despite a severe physical disability (born with osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as "glass bones"), forcing him to use a special attachment to work the pedal, he was able to become a jazz piano virtuose.

This album shows his enormous talent.
Listen, for example, the C Jam Blues track for you to understand what I mean.

Impressive.

Petrucciani in his most sincere tribute.......2004-05-10

The sense of comittment that Petrucciani gave to every one of the themes (with special emphasis in African flower), made of this CD one of the ten best recordings in that year.
All of us know (and everyday the statement seems growing) the huge poetical stature that Duke Ellington placed.
No other jazz musician has never been above him. And I must recognize that I'm a great collector of academic music, not even Gershwin could reach this height.
Ellington as composer, knew comuniccate his inner visions like no other jazz musician. When he composed he had the power to express not only his troubled emotive world, but being an exceptional witness for making us translating us to the lowest and deep regions of the soul. No matter where you're from.
Petrucciani knew it and the approach he did to his music was a superb homage, and altogether with the tribute paid by Dave Grussin the before year (1992) to Gershwin, both of these two records are the best acknowledgment that two jazz musicians have given us in the last twenty years.
Please, buy that CD . You'll be literally by the nostalgical poetry generated by Petrucciani in memoriam of that legend living who was Duke Ellington.

Must have CD for any jazz piano enthusiast.......2000-11-23

I am a jazz pianist myself and think that this is some of the most superb piano playing I have ever heard. It is highly recommended - showing incredible imagination, musical sophistication, technique and most importantly beautiful emotion. A must have addition to any collection.

A superb achievement from the recently-departed pianist........1999-03-23

The CD includes a number of classics from Duke Ellington given the special Petrucciani treatment. Having seen Michel play live several times, which was a truly unforgettable experience, this studio album misses none of the intimacy and dynamic of those performances in what can sometimes be rather flat in a studio setting. The melodies are bold, the harmonies original, the transitions beautifully dovetailed together and the whole makes a rollercoaster ride of great listening. Of special note: "Caravan" and "Take The A Train". Enjoy!

thanks Michel !.......1999-01-06

today, january 6th 1999, michel Petrucciani passed away. His tribute to Duke will remain an immortal gift, made to us, forever... thanks again. Benoit d'Hau, Paris, France.
