John Patitucci Trio with Brian Blade and Nicole Glover: Spirit Fall at Dizzy's Club

John Patitucci’s new studio album Spirit Fall, released in February 2025, explores themes of unity, spiritual growth, and musical innovation to showcase his artistry as a visionary bassist and bandleader. John Patitucci is one of the most influential bassists and composers of his generation. Spirit Fall is a deeply personal project for Patitucci, reflecting his commitment to creating music that fosters unity and spiritual growth in today’s fragmented world. “In times like these, music has the power to bridge divides and uplift our collective spirit,” Patitucci shares. “With Spirit Fall, I wanted to reach out through our art, connecting not just with family and friends, but with everyone, especially those on the margins.” The album draws inspiration from the rich tradition of New York trio music, echoing the innovative spirit of legends such as Sonny Rollins, Joe Henderson, and John Coltrane. A standout track, “Deluge on Seventh Avenue,” captures the essence of a memorable week performing at the Vanguard amidst heavy rains—a vivid metaphor for the challenges and exhilaration inherent in the creative process. John Patitucci’s career spans over four decades, during which he has become a cornerstone of modern jazz fusion. His work with Chick Corea’s Elektric Band and collaborations with icons like Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock have not only shaped his own artistry but have also influenced countless musicians worldwide. Patitucci’s solo projects, including Line by Line and Songs, Stories & Spirituals, showcase his ability to blend jazz, classical, funk, and world music, earning him multiple Grammy Awards and a loyal global following....
