MICHEL PETRUCCIANI ft. JIM HALL AND WAYNE SHORTER - Power of Three (1987) FLAC (image+.cue), lossless

This is an all-star summit that works quite well. Pianist Michel Petrucciani, a major jazz musician who had already led 11 record dates by this time (despite still being only 23), teams up with guitarist Jim Hall at the 1986 Montreux Jazz Festival for two lyrical duets: the altered blues "Careful," in which they comp exquisitely behind each other's solos, and "In a Sentimental Mood." Petrucciani and Hall are joined by Wayne Shorter on soprano and tenor for "Limbo," "Morning Blues," and the calypso "Bimini," and these songs feature some of Shorter's finest jazz playing of the era.

Tracklist:

1. Limbo (Wayne Shorter) - 7:57

2. Careful (Jim Hall) - 6:49

3. Morning Blues (Michel Petrucciani) - 8:15
