Remember if it says live in Tokyo, you’re in for an insane listening experience

[stevenragsdalemusic]

This might be one of the most cohesive, patient, and melodic versions of Giant Steps I’ve ever heard.

Just in case you somehow see this message Pat, I want you to know you got fans all the way down here in Adelaide South Australia. Everyone at my jazz course here adores your work, I love how beautifully melodic and distinct your style is, while also being virtuosic. In my opinion you're up there with the greats, like Coltrane, Parker, etc. I just love hearing you play dude, especially how you merge jazz and video game music as well (I LOVE the version you did of Mauville city, and the accordion guy in that band was cookin so hard in it I actually went and got myself an accordion and am tryna learn it as well as piano).

Keep it up!!

[iancurriden]

No one has energy like Pat and his groups. His trio blew my mind in Austin. This just blew my mind, and I heard it from a couple thousand miles away. KICKASS.
