Puremusic Interviews Patty (March 2007)

Russell — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 14:38:42 +0000

“I do feel like [Doug Lancio] and I have a communication musically that’s pretty rare. And he’s so tolerant. He’s one of the most tolerant, patient human beings I’ve ever met in the whole world. On top of being a brilliant, soulful player, he will wait it out until you find your way, and he’ll support that. He’s my bandleader, and I couldn’t really do that myself. But he directs unusually–he waits for the whole picture to appear to him, and then he goes forward. He’s not ego driven, he doesn’t have to convince everybody that he knows what he’s doing.” For the complete interview by Frank Goodman, click here.
