Milagro is pianist Alan Pasqua's first album as a leader. The musical promise he displayed in The Tony Williams Lifetime, Santana, and George Russell's Living Time Orchestra has been fully realized on this inventive disc, aided and abetted by cohorts Holland, DeJohnette, and Brecker, and by five of New York's first-call brass and woodwind session players. Pasqua's playing is both melodic and hard-driving and, on this album, his gifts as an arranger are abundantly featured to great effect.
