Miniatures for Piano Bass & String Quartet: Vision - 3:11 Editorial Reviews: Fusion standout John Patitucci exhibits the speed, facility, and flash that's made him the darling of the contemporary jazz set. He's joined by the man whose band has showcased him, pianist Chick Corea, plus percussionist Alex Acuna and other guest stars. The songs are pretty routine, but Patitucci and Corea's performances elevate them. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
