Since attracting worldwide acclaim as a member of Chick Corea’s Elektric Band and Akoustic Band-a creative association that has now spanned eighteen years-GRAMMY”-winning bassist John Patitucci has become one of today’s most influential musicians and composers. He has released several remarkable albums as leader of his own groups and made notable contributions to renowned ensembles led by Wayne Shorter, Stan Getz, Freddie Hubbard and Danilo PZrez, to name only a few. Patitucci’s sensitivity, inventiveness and tone have established him as one of the leading lights in contemporary and Brazilian jazz; few can emulate the scope of his impact on modern and traditional music.
At the Blue Note Patitucci will play only electric bass, along with two of the music’s coolest electric guitar players in Adam Rogers and Steve Cardenas and the legendary Nate Smith at drums.
