John and wife play songs for angels, December 30, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: One More Angel (Audio CD)
According to the liner notes, John Patitucci and his wife tried to have a number of babies and his wife miscarried. In an attempt to deal with their sorrow over these events, John wrote the songs on this CD, the angels refered to in the title are his unborn children.
The CD is a song cycle of the beautiful, sad, warm, poignant and hopeful. The jazz combo includes a cello as the lead in most songs. Very special, very unusual. Contemplative. Meditative. "Angel" contains strong new age/lite jazz influences without ever becoming sappy or drivel like most lite jazz. Also strong classical influence.
One of the best jazz albums of 1998.
All cuts exceptional except for the noisy, out-of-place, first cut "Quasimodo".

Patitucci Does It Again, June 22, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: One More Angel (Audio CD)
Patitucci combines incredible technique with deep emotion on this album. The music is absolutely beautiful, deeply moving, and flawlessly rendered. Patitucci brings to mind another of my favorite jazz bassists, Joël Dilley, whose album "River of Hope" is also emotionally biographical.
