"An obscure reference to Michel in a high-end audio equipment magazine started my research into this high-octane Caribbean jazz pianist. Listening to a few cuts here on Amazon for several of his albums and a few more on Apple iTunes store made me a dedicated fan. I immediately bought 3 of his albums including this one. After listening to all the cuts, my initial instincts were correct. Here is an authentic genius on the keyboards. His rhythms, phrasing, licks, and flying fingers put me, quite simply, on the floor. There isn't a loser in the 9 tracks but the final one, Caribe, is magnificent, a crowning achievement in anyone's jazz career.



If you enjoy jazz, this CD belongs in your collection. Your appreciation of what is artistry will require an adjustment at or near the top."

Simply the best

"Wow. I first heard of this cd during a jazz band trip. My percussion teacher (also a jazzer) played it in the van and I was blown away! I had to have the cd. Carbibe is of course my favorite, and also being a pianist, I have learned some of the song by ear. This guy is crazy man crazy. I cannot believe how amazing Michel's playing is, and his chops are unbelievable! To everyone who loves jazz, this cd is definately for you!"

Best latin pianist ever.

"In this album he tries a more relaxed mood.

One of his most Bill-Evans-oid works."
