Superstar Grammy-nominated Saxophonist Patrick Bartley Jnr. is a true global phenomenon in the jazz world, carving a name for himself from a young age performing alongside greats such as Wynton Marsalis, and propelled to international acclaim through his appearances on Emmet Cohen’s livestreams. Under his own banner, Patrick has lead numerous projects, including his J-Music Ensemble, his trio with Russell hall and Stefan Klein, and Tokyo-based Dreamweaver. In a coup for NQ Jazz, this is to be the band’s only UK date for this European tour! As such, please note that we will be running two houses with separate ticketing for each - details below.
Patrick Bartley presents "NEW VISIONS", a series of original music that explores his unique vision of the world through the idiom of jazz. Combining his imagination, synesthesia, and visual art background with an undeniably strong root in both traditional and modern jazz, Patrick aims to breathe new life into the art by connecting with people’s inner vision with his own, creating a sound that’s both strikingly ambitious yet comfortingly familiar. The line-up for this passionate exploration features Patrick Bartley himself on alto saxophone, Barry Stephenson on bass, Stefan Klein on drums, and one of the most promising young pianists of today’s generation, the prodigious William Schwartzman, who is now attending the Juilliard School of Music in New York City. All of the music presented in this program will be featured on the band’s upcoming debut album, NEW VISIONS.
