First off, I think I spelled his name wrong.
Anyway, I know this guy can play like a mofo, he's awesome. Problem is, I've only seen very few video clips and short audio chunks of him. I saw a video of him playing Bach's "Suite #1 in G Major" (one of my favorite songs to play too), and maybe 3 other songs.
I'm looking for some recordings with him playing. I don't know anything about his discographey except that he played with Chick Corea on his latest DVDs (someone on this forum told me about that, I still haven't gotten a chance to pick it up though).
Anything will do. I know he plays both upright and electric. I love both, but prefer electric. Any suggestions? |

I also enjoyed his "Heart of the Bass" and "Mistura Fina".
Edit He plays electric on mentioned records.

Beautiful playing as well. That disc is a must-have. He does a song on upright called "Mulagh" on that disc that is very impressive. |

By the way, could you make sure that you include the name of the artist listed with each CD. Like, is "Heart of the Bass" is Patitucci's name? Or a band name? Just wanna be sure of that kind of thing. Thanks again guys. |

You might want to take a look in http://www.johnpatitucci.com
And yeah, "Heart of the Bass" and "Mistura Fina" and so on are in his own name

Patitucci's playing in a support role is incredible, and the arangements are great ........  |

He also plays on Danilo Perez's Till Then and Central Avenue (if I'm not mistaken)

John's Yamaha signature bass is the nicest bass I've ever played. I wish I could afford one. |

Heart of the Bass is under John's name. You definitely need to pick that one up!
All the playing that John did with Chick is good, IMO. Elektric and Akoustic. The Akoustic Band album is a must have. John and Dave Weckl really lock in. Would you expect anything less?!
Pick up as much stuff with John as you can. He really is a legend of the bass. |

It has a great list of players on it , including Allen Holdsworth, Mike Stern, and the late great Bob Berg.....along with John on all the tracks. He plays 4/5/6 & string and acoustic bass with fretless on one track....I really dug his fretless tone!  There are just so many great albums with him on it.....one of the best we have!!!

Amazingly, I can't stand his tone, and I have a TRB and love Aguilar stuff!!
The new CC Elektric record "To the Stars" is pretty cool, although the filler tracks get a bit old and take up valuable space imo!

He plays on Steve Khan's "Got My Mental" with Jack Dejohnette, Don Alias, Bobby Allende, Marc Quinones, Cafe and Patitucci on upright. I think Steve is a fabulous guitarist, but my favorites are his Eyewitness albums with Anthony Jackson and one of Dennis Chambers/Dave Weckyl/Steve Jordan on drums and others. [more specifically the albums are Eyewitness, Casa Loco, Modern Times, Public Access and Crossings]. Steve recorded some sessions earlier this year with Patitucci, DeJohnette and others which should be coming soon...

Jim | Oh MAN I LOVE THOSE STEVE KHAN/EYEWITNESS ALBUMS!!  Pure genius, very loose organic improvising and cool compositions!
