John Patitucci is one of the foremost bass players in contemporary jazz. On One More Angel he can be heard on acoustic bass and on six-string bass guitar. The title takes the CD from the name of John and Sachi Patitucci's daughter Angel, who died of a miscarriage. A year later they lost another daughter (Miya). After that, even more changes took place in their lives, such as their move to the capital
… of jazz: New York. All the emotional events are reflected in master bassist Patitucci's new album One More Angel. His wife Sachi (cello) also plays on two songs: On The Hudson and Romance. Patitucci received further accompaniment from pianist Alan Pasqua, drummer Paul Motian, tenor saxophonists Chris Potter and Michael Brecker, guitarist Thomas Patitucci, soprano saxophonist Steve Tavaglione and pianist John Beasley. Except for San Michelle (Alan Pasqua), all songs for this CD are written by Patitucci himself. It has become an atmospheric CD with modern jazz, with the emphasis on feeling (very intense at times) and modesty. An impressive CD!more
