Artist's Website

Primarily a jazz stylist, Saxophonist Patrick Wolff has been active in New York City for 8 years. He has brought his warm sound and open phrasing to an eclectic mix of styles and groups, from the old-school swing of the Glenn Miller Orchestra to the Nigerian roots music of afrobeat ensemble Asiko.

With the help of MUNY, Wolff presents his trio to New York City. With veteran bass player Chris Van Voorst Van Beest's huge sound and precise feel, and drummer Yujiro Nakamura's propulsive swing, the trio creates a sound that preserves the jazz feeling through a wide range of repertoire. The group plays a dynamic mix of originals, pieces from jazz composers like Thelonious Monk and Ornette Coleman, and interpretations of songs from latin folk traditions. Formed in regular performance, the trio has an accessibility and feeling that can only be found in cohesive bands.
