Saxophonist, multi-wind player, arranger, composer, music director,
theater works producer, educator, and visionary, Pat Patrick
performed with Duke Ellington's and Quincy Jones' orchestras,
Thelonious Monk, Mongo Santamaria, Nat King Cole, James Moody, Eric
Dolphy, Marvin Gaye, Patti Labelle, and Billy Taylor. Most of his
career, however, was spent laying down the baseline grooves on the
baritone saxophone with the indefinable Sun Ra Archestra for over
35 years. Based on research in the recently opened archive of
personal papers, artifacts, scrapbooks, music, news clippings and
photographs, Pat Patrick: American Musician and Cultural Visionary,
explores the life and influence of this important musical
man-behind-the-scenes. Musicologist Bill Banfield weaves a treasure
trove of primary source material-including interviews with
Patrick's family, friends, and associates-into a tapestry of
Patrick's remarkable life as the musical right hand of some of
America's greatest Black musical artists.
