Jeb Patton Quartet Feat. Dmitry Baevsky at Sunset-Sunside

Pianist Jeb Patton was a pupil of Sir Roland Hanna but his complete playing, served by a precise, deliberately percussive touch, reminds us that he was also nourished by Bud Powell, Phineas Newborn, Wynton Kelly, even Ahmad Jamal, as well as classical music. A sought-after partner on the New York scene, he has played with a wide variety of musicians, notably, for years, with the Heath Brothers and Jimmy Heath's Generations Quintet, as well as Charles McPherson and George Coleman. He has developed a very personal lyricism and a sense of swing that innervate each of his interpretations... At his side, we find the alto saxophonist Dmitry Baevsky, his longtime accomplice, whose warm timbre and formidable technique, confirm to every concert that he is one of the most prominent saxophonists today....

Le pianiste Jeb Patton a été l’élève de Sir Roland Hanna mais son jeu complet, servi par un toucher précis, volontiers percussif, rappelle qu’il s’est aussi nourri de Bud Powell, Phineas Newborn, Wynton Kelly, voire Ahmad Jamal, aussi bien que de musique classique. Partenaire recherché sur la scène new-yorkaise, il a joué avec des musiciens très divers, notamment, des années durant, avec les Heath Brothers et le Jimmy Heath’s Generations Quintet, ainsi que Charles McPherson ou encore George Coleman. Il a développé un lyrisme très personnel et un sens du swing qui innervent chacune de ses interprétations... A ses côtés, on retrouve le saxophoniste alto Dmitry Baevsky, son complice de longue date, dont le timbre chaleureux et la technique redoutable, confirment à chaque concert qu'il est l'un des saxophonistes les plus en vue aujourd'hui.
