Pata on the Cadillac
A 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
In 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
In 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
