Jeb Patton Quartet Feat. Dmitry Baevsky

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.
