About the album

Trombonist Ben Patterson's fiery technique and expansive compositional vision combine for a thrilling quintet session of 10 wide-ranging originals. From the opening title tune, a master-class in form & fire with tight ensemble passages and soaring solos, to the straight-ahead, Messengers-esque "Suits Me Fine," Patterson unveils thoroughly compelling vehicles for his Washington, DC-based group. All inspired soloists and master musicians, Patterson features guitarist Shawn Purcell, pianist Chris Ziemba, Paul Henry on bass and drummer Todd Harrison.

Die leidenschaftliche Technik des Posaunisten Ben Patterson und seine weitreichende kompositorische Vision vereinen sich zu einer aufregenden Quintett-Session mit 10 abwechslungsreichen Eigenkompositionen. Vom eröffnenden Titelstück, einer Meisterklasse in Form und Klang mit dichten Ensemble-Passagen und hochfliegenden Soli, bis hin zum geradlinigen, Messengers-esken "Suits Me Fine" enthüllt Patterson durch und durch überzeugende Vehikel für seine in Washington, DC ansässige Gruppe. Zu Patterson gehören der Gitarrist Shawn Purcell, der Pianist Chris Ziemba, Paul Henry am Bass und der Schlagzeuger Todd Harrison, allesamt inspirierte Solisten und Meistermusiker.

In 2016, Ben launched the Ben Patterson Jazz Orchestra with its first recording, Vital Frequencies, featuring Chris Potter. The band includes some of the Washington, DC area's top musicians and has performed at Blues Alley and for the Washington Performing Arts Society Gala. Among the vanguard of today's contemporary composers and big band arrangers, Ben Patterson's music is just as comfortable harnessing the power of the traditional big band horn section as it is with the intermingling of electronica to achieve a singular, complex vision. Surrounded by the elite rhythm section of pianist Chris Ziemba, guitarist Shawn Purcell, bassist Paul Henry, and drummer Todd Harrison, Patterson molds deep musical magic around their swirling grooves. Patterson's unique musical voice makes him instantly recognizable...
