The Will Patton Ensemble

Combine a jazz/choro mandolinist with a symphony violinist who also plays bluegrass and hot swing, add a string bass player who came of age working the Chicago blues clubs with the likes of Howlin' Wolf and Buddy Guy, a lifelong guitarist equally at home with flatpicking fiddle tunes and fiery Hot Club jazz solos. Spice it all up with a with a first call jazz/Brazilian percussionist and stir in a little rock & roll attitude and season for 20 years in small clubs and large concert halls and you get some idea of the music of the Will Patton Ensemble.
