Communion (John Patitucci album)


Communion is an album by jazz bassist John Patitucci, released in 2001.

Background

Patitucci had released three albums for Concord Records before this one.

Music and recording

The album's 10 tracks featured a total of 18 musicians. A variety of material is covered, including "On the balladic title track, he writes a supple arrangement for string quartet, and elsewhere leans toward Brazil and other Latin elements." Mal Waldron's "Soul Eyes" is played as a duet with pianist Brad Mehldau.

Reception

The AllMusic reviewer commented that "Some of the cuts are less than memorable, and the stronger ones succeed more in terms of orchestration than melody."
