"Ronnie Lynn Patterson is an exemplary artist who has managed to distance himself from what came before him and what exists without, and throw himself body and soul into this material, sublimated through his art from a compact mass to a volatile ether, the very substance of dreams." -- Alain Gerber, jazz critic * The first release of the brand new label Outnote Records! * There is nothing like the "standards" to judge a musician"s skills. An ex-drummer and a rock/soul fan who came to play jazz, Ronnie Lynn Patterson doesn"t use the master composers (Coltrane, Monk, Rodgers & Hart) to forge a reputation--he devotes himself to the repertoire with a passionate respect. * Born in Kansas, Patterson reveals a musical personality that borrows from various influences: Rachmaninov, Morton Feldman, and Keith Jarrett. With the latter, Patterson shares a sheer pleasure of playing. * Here, Patterson joins forces with twins François & Louis Moutin. Each brother integrates himself into the universe of the pianist-leader and expresses his musicality in a very smooth way. Without any brusqueness, with generosity and freshness, Ronnie Lynn Patterson gives birth to an excellent album.
