This very talented musician's voice has been with us for decades. The Chick Corea Electric Band represented a significant turning point in contemporary jazz history, and John Patitucci's contributions to that entity were nothing less than stellar. His vision for the architecture of contemporary bass has been an extremely noteworthy contribution to the evolution of the bass's role in "any" type of contemporary setting. But we're just scratching the surface of John's depth as a musician. Beyond the excellence of his jazz expertise, his ability to cover any genre with extraordinary taste becomes evident after an examination of his discography which includes countless Jazz icons and artists such as BB King, Sting, Bon Jovi, and Bonnie Raitt to name just a few---an eclectic journey that speaks well of his diversity as a player.
