Solo Live is a solo piano album by Michel Petrucciani, recorded in 1997 at a concert in Frankfurt, Germany, and released on the Dreyfus label in 1998.[2][3] A double-CD version of the concert was released in 2007, under the title Piano Solo: The Complete Concert in Germany, and featured 20 tracks instead of the original release's 11.[4]

Music

Most of the tracks are Petrucciani originals. "Looking Up" is "overtly optimistic and inherently hopeful"; "Home" is a "statement of warmth and comfort"; "Brazilian Like" is "orchestral and melodic to the point at which the tune remains in one's head long after its conclusion".[1]

Reception

The AllMusic review awarded it four and a half stars and described it as "Petrucciani's lasting solo gift to the jazz world".[1] The Penguin Guide to Jazz gave it a maximum four stars and added it to the suggestsed Core Collection list.[2]
