When I was first introduced to the work of Michel Petrucciani I was a senior in high shool. Through the years I sought after his music with the intesity and ferver of a fanatic. His music drove me to the brink of blissful insanity. So, of couse I was delighted when Blue Note offered his public a compilaton of his biggest hits when he was with the label. The compilation starts off with my favorite tune "Looking up". I know Michel wrote this song to commemorate the riddicule he encountered because of his handicap. He introduces a simple melody, then takes you through a collage of different modes of positive reinforcement, using his masterful art of improvisation. If you did not know him, get to know him through his music, as I have. You will see the beauty that is Michel.

The contents of this CD match his release MUSIC which was the first Petrucciani CD I owned. Which ever I have in my car, the energy is motivating, his talents are inspiring, and I always, ALWAYS love listening to his music. I missed him at the Blue Note, but will go out of my way to see him perform the next time he is in NY. - A wonderful addition to any collection. My secretary loves his music, and my wife (NOT a Jazz tolerant person) also enjoys his music. Buy it. You will definately enjoy it. The five star review is not taken lightly.
