	Patrick Moraz - A Biography
		Moraz continued studying with other local luminaries who made him understand what "real" music was and teaching him the secrets of improvisation, composition and expression on a more esoteric and spiritual level.
		Patrick's serious commitment to the piano really began while he was living in Vevey, in the same house as, and studying piano by watching and listening to, Clara Haskil, the great Romanian concert pianist who was one of the world's leading authorities on the music of Mozart, Schubert, Schumann and Beethoven.
		Patrick's solo effort, the visionary "Story of I", was recorded in the fall of 1975 in the company of John Mc Burnie, (vocals), Jeff Berlin (bass), Alphonse Mouzon (drums), Ray Gomez (guitar), Andy Newmark (drums) and 16 Brazilian percussionists.

	Patrick Moraz Discography
		Moraz only appears on one Yes album, Relayer, although his live work did show up on Yesshows some years later.
		As the '80s began, Moraz was tapped to become Mike Pinder's replacement in The Moody Blues, recording five albums with that band before leaving in 1992.
		Moraz' work tends to fuse Latin themes with electronic and classical arrangements, a style which has cultivated some fans but eluded commercial success in the US and UK.

	Amazon.com: Story of I: Music: Patrick Moraz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Moraz displays his keyboard prowess and compositional chops on "The Story of I" in a vein that is more a true fusion of world, jazz, classical and rock music that other more well-known prog efforts.
		Patrick Moraz started out training in classical piano, but decided in his teens "to break the mechanism" of this kind of playing: he wanted to keep the school discipline as a means to step free.
		Moraz is so busy trying to impress us with his keyboard and synthesizer skills that any creativity in the music on this album is lost in the sonic mud.

	Keyboard Magazine - Patrick Moraz
		When Patrick Moraz debuted with Yes on last year's tour of America, he faced a huge amount of press coverage, and with it, criticism that drew comparisons between him and his more pyrotechnic predecessor, Rick Wakeman.
		Moraz doesn't feel that a new member in a band should try to change whatever the person before him did for personal ego reasons.
		Moraz fans simply need to have these; if you’re not yet a fan, you might find inspiration and a creative refueling in a spin of this classic material.

	Tentative Review by The Christopher Currie: Patrick Moraz - Out In The Sun
		Patrick has never been the best lyricist in the world, and his ability at finding lead vocalists of questionable ability is about on par with Yes's other former keyboardists.
		Although diehard Moraz fans will undoubtedly find some worthwhile material here, the overall quality of the album is not high enough to recommend it to a more casual progressive fan.
		Patrick Moraz would be a much better choice for those interested in this period in PM's career.

		Patrick Moraz is of course now famous as the man who replaced Rick Wakeman in Yes and recorded the Relayer album and also the man who replaced Mike Pinder in the Moody Blues.

		Tracks featured are Pale Sky, Passing Years and the extended God which is considered a highlight of the album and a good showcase for the style that Patrick Moraz would go on to popularise in Refugee, Yes and his solo work.

	The Music Index: Voiceprint: CD album : CD album by rock keyboards player Patrick Moraz called Refugee first released ...
		While two thirds of The Nice (Lee Jackson and Brian Davison) were involved in Refugee the addition of Swiss born keyboard virtuoso Patrick Moraz ensured that the project whilst having the progressive ideals of The Nice was in fact something altogether different.
		In all honesty there were few candidates who would have been capable of filling Wakeman's shoes in Yes however Patrick Moraz was certainly more than capable and as history has proved accepted the offer he couldn't refuse and Refugee became a one album band when Moraz departed in 1974.
		The album has been re mastered for this release and will certainly be of interest to the large and dedicated Patrick Moraz fan base and also of interest to Yes fans through Patrick's membership of the band and lovers of progressive rock music.

	PATRICK MORAZ
		atrick Moraz’ tale of the clash between “primitive” and “civilized” cultures brings together the seemingly disparate elements of Brazilian jazz and the burgeoning field of electronic music.
		As might be expected, the album runs hot and cold; the melodies are often warm and ingratiating (something he shares with Pat Metheny, along with a hair stylist apparently), but the more synthetic sections fail to fuse with the “primitive” percussion of Djalma Correa et al.
		Moraz himself seems to be ambivalent toward electronics, assigning them the role of the aggressor in this battle.

	Patrick Moraz : Windows of Time - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Granted, Moraz's liner notes for "Windows of Time" have the whacked-out content and print quality of religious pamphlets left on bus station benches.
		It's essentially an hour-long piano improvisation by Moraz, divided rather loosely into three suites, and interrupted solely by an occasional bloodcurdling whoop from the pianist.
		In the end, though, they all flow together in Moraz's inimitable fusion of dark Romanticism and bright Brazilian dance rhythms.

	Ground and Sky review - Patrick Moraz - Human Interface
		Bad news first: we're talking 1987 and the Cinema label here, so of course you can expect a sound that is fully swathed in the (ahem) 'cutting edge' digital keyboards of the day.
		Also, several of the compositions bear Moraz' identifiable stamp as Virtuoso and Eccentric, and from strictly that standpoint have the mastery and quirkiness to generally hold the tolerant and patient prog listener's interest to at least some degree.
		However, I believe that if you took many of these songs and transported them back to the 70s with analog synths and a backing band, you'd have an material more or less in the ballpark of The Story of i.

	Ground and Sky review - Patrick Moraz & Bill Bruford - Flags
		Moraz sticks mostly to piano, although the Kurtzweil is frequently used to add color.
		The music reminds me at times of Moraz's Story of i album, and at times of the one Bill Bruford's Earthworks album that I've heard.
		I wouldn't pay through the nose on ebay for it or anything, but if you're a fan of the jazzier end of prog and happen to stumble across a copy at a used CD store, by all means grab it.

		synthesizer) culture, Patrick Moraz could more accurately be said to track the keyboardist's descent from the rich acoustic diversity of his '70s releases into the synthesized tones of his '80s albums.
		That same album's "Karu" appears here as a solo in the gentle vocal piece "Keep the Children Alive," while the woozy pitch-bending synths of "The Conflicts" prefigures such releases as Future Memories.
		It is a pivotal album in Moraz's development, and thus worth a listen to Moraz fanatics, who will...enjoy Moraz's pleasantly pensive piano solo in "Intentions."

		Former Yes and Moody Blues keyboardist Patrick Moraz mixes numerous Latin and rock rhythms together via his lively synth work, resulting in a full-flavored, energetic album.
		Inspired by the Brazilian ballet, each song dances with piquancy and flow, never repeating the same rhythms or sounds while at the same time introducing a wide variety of percussion instruments.
		Images of the south seas hover atop Moraz's wandering rhythms, as he sounds unconfined behind the synthesizer.

	Sid Smith's Postcards From The Yellow Room: Review: Bill Bruford & Patrick Moraz
		In 1983 with King Crimson temporarily indisposed, Surrey-based Bruford made contact with near neighbour and Moody Blues keyboardist, Moraz to form a duo that could create a more flexible music, stripped of the trappings and associated costs of their regular day-jobs.
		Though there’s an undeniable jazzy vibe to much of what’s going on, there’s also more than a hint of the symphonically-inclined prog-rock in which both players cut their professional musical teeth.
		Similarly Moraz’s soloing is impressive, avoiding as it does the rent-a-quote gratuitous psuedo-classical gas of some of his bloated Prog-rock contemporaries.

	Tentative Review by The Christopher Currie: Patrick Moraz - Timecode
		The two-and-a-half-star rating for "No Sleep Tonight" is generous, and is primarily for the sound effects that Moraz incorporates into the work.
		The song has a certain degree of catchiness, but this is probably because of its similarity to "Gemini Dream", a Moody Blues hit from a few years earlier.
		Moraz shows his basic competence as a musician throughout the tracks, preventing them from reaching the dreaded "one-star" rating...
