Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

October 31, 2008 | Times Argus Review: Will Patton

Perennial JazzMando favorite, Will Patton continues to get rave reviews and attention for his recently released CD, "6th St Runaround." The latest of accolades can be found in a Times Argos (Montpelier, Vermont) Art Edelstein arts review. "Patton is a fine musician who also plays guitar and bass on the CD. His well-worn Gibson A model mandolin (also the choice for klezmer/bluegrass mandolinist Andy Statman) has a warm rich sound, and his chops are impeccable. But, with players like Gusakov, Blair and Anna Patton contributing, there is plenty of space for each musician to take a lead. Thus we have a program of soft, non-jarring jazz presented by some of the best musicians found in this state."

We have to agree, and were recently privileged with a submission from the veteran musician in our PROFESSIONAL'S SOUND LAB with an interpretation of Lydia O'Lydia, one of our five concept songs from the book, "Getting Into Jazz Mandolin."
