Patrick, Pat -& The Baritone Saxophone Retinue-
Sound Advice
The 2017 vinyl repress. As a composer, bandleader and full-time member of the Sun Ra Arkestra, Pat Patrick was a visionary musician whose singular contribution to the jazz tradition has not yet been fully recognised. As a bandleader, Patrick only released one LP - the almost mythical 'Sound Advice', recorded with his Baritone Saxophone Retinue, a unique gathering of baritone saxophone masters including Charles Davis and Rene Mclean. First issued in 1977 on Sun Ra's legendary Saturn Records imprint, 'Sound Advice' is a deephued exploration of this special instrument, a lost masterpiece of Arkestrally-minded Ellingtonia where higher adepts of the lower cosmic tones are heard in rare conference.
