Pata on the Cadillac

Pata On The CadillacA manifest of contemporary jazz with Pata On The Cadillac. Stimulating and with great humour and detail. Essential, elemental and moving in an individual statement of immense power. A multifaceted and above all entertaining melange of avant garde and tradition. The new ensemble of Norbert Stein in a journey across borders, filled with surprises and the inspiration of the exotic and its ramifications. Imaginary music? Yes please!

Pata Poetry

Pata PoetryIn the lightness and transparency of a trio, this smallest formation from the Pata cosmos presents current Pata music in a poetic way. Sounds and melodies open spaces for the art of expressive improvisation … Solid becomes fluid … Poetry and truth … Pata Poetry

Norbert Stein, tenor sax; Joscha Oetz, double bass; Fabian Jung, drums

Pata Ventura

Pata VenturaIn the treatment of chorales, melodies and sacred songs for two wind instruments and two string instruments, two complementary worlds are brought face to face: deeply moving in their simplicity and familiarity, the world of conventional harmony and of forms handed down and – exceeding these – the world of the unknown, still amorphous and its possibilities in the art of improvisation.

Norbert Stein- tenor saxophone; Nicolao Valiensi - euphonium; Albrecht Maurer - violin; Joscha Oetz - double bass
