Michel Petrucciani always excelled in front of a live audience, and this 1992 concert with his father Tony accompanying him on guitar is no exception, though it's a shame it wasn't released until 2001, some two years after the pianist's death. An adventurous exploration of "Summertime" serves as a strong opener, followed by the playful waltz "Sometime Ago." The complex introduction to "All the Things You Are" and well disguised path into "My Funny Valentine" are by themselves worth the price of the CD. Michel gets a bit heavy-handed during parts of "Someday My Prince Will Come," overwhelming his partner's soft chords. There are solo features, too: Tony Petrucciani tackles Django Reinhardt's lovely ballad "Nuages" with finesse; while Michel is no doubt inspired by Bill Evans' many recordings of Miles Davis' "Nardis," he finds his own path during a dramatic improvisation. The sign off by the duo includes a rapid-fire take of "Billie's Bounce" and a gently swinging version of "Satin Doll." Recommended.

Michel Petrucciani siempre se destacó frente a una audiencia en vivo, y este concierto de 1992 con su padre Tony que lo acompaña en la guitarra no es una excepción, aunque es una pena que no se lanzara hasta 2001, unos dos años después de la muerte del pianista. Una exploración aventurera de "Summertime" sirve como un abridor fuerte, seguido por el juguetón vals "Sometime Ago". La compleja introducción de "Todas las cosas que eres" y el camino bien disfrazado de "My Funny Valentine" valen el precio del CD. Michel se pone un poco pesado durante partes de "Algún día llegará mi príncipe", abrumando los suaves acordes de su compañero. También hay características en solitario: Tony Petrucciani aborda la encantadora balada "Nuages" de Django Reinhardt con delicadeza; mientras que Michel está sin duda inspirado por las muchas grabaciones de Bill Evans de "Nardis" de Miles Davis, encuentra su propio camino durante una improvisación dramática. La señal del dúo incluye una toma rápida de "Billie's Bounce" y una versión suave de "Satin Doll". Recomendado.
