Recorded during Petrucciani's peak tenure with Blue Note Records, the 55-minute recital exhibits his ability to deconstruct jazz motifs with "blindingly rapid" playing and mischievous humor. His approach is noted for:
: Listeners can hear "rhythmic and melodic tags," including unexpected quotes from Sonny Rollins’ "St. Thomas" or even "The Windmills of Your Mind" woven into lyrical renditions.
: His playing bridges various jazz styles, showing influences from Bill Evans , Thelonious Monk , and Martial Solal . Go to product viewer dialog for this item. Michel Petrucciani: Solo in Denmark CD
