Classical and jazz, the so-called modern and the antiquated, & the progressive and traditional coexist beautifully in the hands of New York City based pianist Jeb Patton.
Springing forth from the competing impulses that were the isolation of the 2020 COVID lockdowns and the creative burst that many individuals experienced, Patton, a pianist whose personal humility, deftness of touch, and deep understanding of the jazz tradition has earned him frequent company in the bands of Jimmy Heath and Charles McPherson, presents here a fine recording of former miniatures that may have begun life as pianistic exercises aimed at technical self-improvement, but quickly transformed into fulsome and satisfying artistic ensemble creations.
Since 1998, Jeb Patton has toured throughout the United States and abroad as the pianist with the Heath Brothers and the Jimmy Heath Quartet. He has performed with Etta Jones, George Coleman, Charles McPherson, Winard Harper, Rodney Green, Antonio Hart, the Dizzy Gillespie All Stars, The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, Roberta Gambarini, Peter and Will Anderson, as well as with other top artists.
Jeb’s latest two CDs, Tenthish and Shades and Tones, were released in 2018 and 2016 respectively on the Cellar Live label. Jeb’s is also a published author, educator and professor at Queens College and City College.

La clásica y el jazz, lo llamado moderno y lo anticuado, & lo progresivo y lo tradicional coexisten maravillosamente en las manos del pianista Jeb Patton, afincado en Nueva York.
Patton, un pianista cuya humildad personal, destreza en el toque y profundo conocimiento de la tradición del jazz le han valido frecuente compañía en las bandas de Jimmy Heath y Charles McPherson, presenta aquí una excelente grabación de antiguas miniaturas que pueden haber comenzado su vida como ejercicios pianísticos destinados a la auto-mejora técnica, pero que rápidamente se transformaron en creaciones artísticas de conjunto plenas y satisfactorias.
Desde 1998, Jeb Patton ha realizado giras por todo Estados Unidos y el extranjero como pianista de los Heath Brothers y el Jimmy Heath Quartet. Ha actuado con Etta Jones, George Coleman, Charles McPherson, Winard Harper, Rodney Green, Antonio Hart, los Dizzy Gillespie All Stars, The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, Roberta Gambarini, Peter y Will Anderson, así como con otros artistas de primera fila.
Los dos últimos CD de Jeb, Tenthish y Shades and Tones, se publicaron en 2018 y 2016 respectivamente en el sello Cellar Live. Jeb's también es autor publicado, educador y profesor en Queens College y City College.
