Float Like A Butterfly

Float Like A Butterfly by the Mike Longo Trio will glide over listeners' ears just like the winged insect mentioned in the album's title. Many of the tracks emote a softness consonant to the butterfly, while others have a jazziness to them that is so upbeat and infectious that listeners will be drawn into their hypnotic sorcery.

The first track has quick-witted piano and groovy percussion work that blend well together to form a seamless melody. Longo's ease with the piano is evident with each stroke he makes on the instrument.

The second track has a slow jazz beat to it complete with cool piano play that will make listeners sigh as they slide into a relaxed state of mind. This song is perfect to waltz to with a stranger or someone you hold dear.

The third track begins with Longo tapping out a classical yet theatrical intro on the piano. His booming notes will definitely draw notice from listeners. Then, drum play and smooth percussion enters the picture giving the song a sprightly feeling. This will make listeners smile as they contemplate dancing to the rhythm.

The fourth track has unhurried percussion and piano play, with dusty guitar in the background. This song has a smokiness to it that makes it one that could be heard at an exclusive jazz piano bar.

"Float Like a Butterfly" from the Mike Longo Trio is an album whose melodies and instrumentation are so unforgettable that listeners might find themselves humming certain bars of specific songs long after the album has stopped.
