Patrick Bartley Quartet

The Patrick Bartley Quartet presents New Visions, a series of original music written by Patrick Bartley 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 lineup for this passionate exploration features an all-Florida-born cast: 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 Miles Lennox, who was previously under the tutelage of the legendary Herbie Hancock.

Patrick Bartley, Jr. is a GRAMMY-nominated saxophonist, multi-instrumentalist, and bandleader from Hollywood, Florida who is known for his boundless versatility, virtuosic technique and expressive vocal-like sound. Since moving to New York City, Patrick has performed and recorded with some of the greatest musical masters in the world, including Wynton Marsalis, Jon Batiste, Emmet Cohen, Larry Grenadier, Steve Miller, Herbie Hancock, Louis Hayes, Carole King, Jimmy Cobb, Marquis Hill, Bobby Sanabria, Marcus Printup, and many others. Patrick is currently most known for his appearances on the multi-million-viewed Live from Emmet’s Place YouTube sessions (namely, “After You’ve Gone,” etc.), as well as for starting the J-MUSIC Ensemble, a band dedicated to examining the world of modern Japanese music through the lens of jazz. Since its inception, J-MUSIC has garnered millions of views and hundreds of thousands of fans worldwide and has led to Patrick connecting and working with some of the greatest names in modern Japanese music, such as Sayaka Yamamoto, sasakure.UK, Donna Burke, Awich, Miho Hazama, and others.
