With his irrepressibly swinging style and superlative musicianship, Jeb Patton has quickly become one of the first-call pianists for jazz artists from a wide range of styles and traditions. Patton studied intensively with tenor saxophone giant Jimmy Heath and pianist Sir Roland Hanna, absorbing the melodic sophistication of these great jazz masters and becoming well-versed in many styles. Through gigs with his former mentor Patton formed one of the most significant musical relationships of his career, becoming the pianist of choice for the legendary Heath Brothers. He has also performed and recorded with his own groups, as well as projects led by Lewis Nash, Winard Harper, and many others. The quality of the musical company he keeps is a testament to Patton's versatility, creativity, and musicianship. Drummer Albert Tootie Heath is a venerable master who has played on countless recordings with virtually every jazz legend imaginable. His classic sound embodies the relaxed yet propulsive feel of the best jazz drumming. Bassist David Wong, also a frequent collaborator with the Heath Brothers, is another young musician who has learned from the greatest performers in jazz and carries their legacy forward.
