Communion is an album by jazz bassist John Patitucci, released in 2001.
Patitucci had released three albums for Concord Records before this one. [1]
The album's 10 tracks featured a total of 18 musicians. [1] A variety of material is covered, including "On the balladic title track, he writes a supple arrangement for string quartet, and elsewhere leans toward Brazil (as on the engaging, rapid-fire "Choro Luoco", dedicated to Hermeto Pascoal) and other Latin elements (i.e., the catchy, sambaesque "Bariloche")." [2] Mal Waldron's " Soul Eyes" is played as a duet with pianist Brad Mehldau. [2]
