Straight-ahead jazz with a contemporary bent
Bio / Background
Over the past several years, alto saxophonist Patrick Cornelius has emerged as an exciting and dynamic new voice in the New York jazz scene. An instrumental virtuoso who counts Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong, Wayne Shorter, Claude Debussy, and Peter Gabriel among his greatest influences, Patrick has made a name for himself as a burgeoning artist with seemingly limitless potential.
His solo recording debut, Lucid Dream, features the collaborative efforts of some of the most exciting talents on the New York jazz scene today: rising stars Aaron Parks (piano), Kendrick Scott (drums), Nick Vagenas (trombone), Gretchen Parlato (voice), and local veteran Sean Conly (bass.) Lucid Dream features 7 strikingly memorable original compositions from Cornelius’ current songbook, as well as spirited, unique arrangements of Charlie Parker’s Billie’s Bounce and Peter Gabriel’s classic pop anthem, Don’t Give Up.
