John Patitucci Interview

[@tonyrapa-tonyrapa]

When I listen to Chick Correa's Elektric Band albums, I'm always amazed by the musicianship of all the players, but John Patitucci's bass work never ceases to thrill me. Great interview.

[@Jazzygurl222]

Met John when he was 22 in Orange County California,wonderful person,never forget him! So talented!😊

[@paloportugal]

This was phenomenal. This interview could’ve gone on much longer. Patitucci is a guy who has done so much at a high level in a variety of settings, and the interviewer not only did his homework in being familiar with his background, he was able to ask open-ended questions that let Patitucci give thoughtful answers and share the insight behind them. Thank you Sweetwater!

[@sweetwater]

[@kayholmes7920]

An incredible musician and wonderfully humble, as you'd expect.

[@Bassic778]

John is a bass players bass player. His skill and talent level are stunning!!!

[@philrobertson7173]

[@mikew4646]

[@lizgoodwin1812]

This interview was so well done and gave the viewer a keen sense about Mr. Patitucci. It's an invaluable skill for the interviewer to be able to make the subject feel comfortable enough to reveal things about himself/herself while making it look so effortless. Thqnk you and thank John Patitucci for his artistry and down to earthness. God's blessings to you both! Look fwd to the next interview.

[@BrianKlobyGuitar]

Cool interview... Great to hear his perspective on music and experiences... thank you ☕🎸

[@pallhe]

Lots of wisdom imparted here. What a wonderful musician this guy is.

[@lolmikearpaia]

Mitch Gallagher consistently asks the most thoughtful, well-researched questions I've ever seen. Every single interview I've ever seen him do is top notch. He really gets the most out of his time with these amazing artists. Thanks for the great interviews, Mitch.

[@mikemorrison281]

Such a great player wonderful musician wonderful composer and gracious humble guy I looked up at Tucci

[@waynematthews8165]

Fantastic interview, John is simply one of the best to do it. His resume speaks for itself! Huge influence on me!

[@MisterstereoOso]

Well John you choked me up @ 31 mins.....Wisdom,Honesty & Humility....the man is already a Master.......imho..

[@slimbeaux]

Wow! Always knew his chops were off the chart but to find out he is such a phenomenal human being. Using who he is to help other people. Amazing. What a blessing. Now if I can just find some way to sit at his feet and learn from him. Now that would be amazing.

[@OsmarOliveira]

Great interview! John is such a classy player.

[@jttrumpet55]

I went to college with John at Cal State Long Beach in the late 70's. He was a phenomenal musician then and of course now!

[@WWare16]

Well I just got my inspiration for the day.

[@jeremiahelijah3188]

John, you're a gift to us musicians and the example you create!thank you for always inspiring me!

[@WarhawkBeyond2040]

John Patitucci has been my favourite bass play for over 20 years now and i have all of his solo albums, and i have been a big fan of his work as a sideman with Chick Corea's Elektric / Akoustic Bands, Wayne Shorter Quartet, Steve Khan & many more. He's a master of the acoustic / electric basses, a great composer and i still consider him to be one of the best bass players in the world.

[@ClariDiez]

All my respect to John. He's a great guy and a real legend!

[@guitarnoodles7576]

This John has been around a lot longer than the other John, guys. Also, one of the most talented bassists you'll ever hear. Electric and upright.

[@canvasacoustic]

brilliant interview thank you !

[@BlackRootsAcademyOfSoul]

My kinda Musician 👌🏿♥️

[@johnpatitucci7919]

Nice interview... Never knew he was a lefty. That's pretty cool.

[@crfraticelli9]

Started getting into chick and his music, and now I’m obsessed with John’s playing. He is the bass and has such a good time on stage.

[@DeejayRach0]

You can only have good time if you love what you do there is no other way

[@stratrovarius]

Classical music vs jazz, composer vs bass player, acoustic vs electric bass topics covered...and that, ladies and gentlemen,is how you conduct a brilliant interview.

[@slashclash21bharat]

CRITICAL STUFF. Wow.

[@tecluchi]

Awesome musician with lots of wisdom. By the way, I'm not so familiar with John Petrucci, so if it was his interview i might have clicked on it thinking it was Patitucci :)

[@Barry101er]

Great interview.

[@reinhardleonardo9464]

love you man!!!!

[@christophermitchum6829]

You be baaad, bro! Welcome to the 6th floor ✌️😎💯 and don't forget the greats...We all owe literally All to yesterday...the next gen is watching 😎✌️🤟💥💪

[@maxcohen13]

I could see how some may confuse this guy's name with the guy from Dream Theater. But for the record, Patitucci _could play circles_ around him. Even Petrucci will tell you that.

[@SannivasReddy]

maxcohen13 Patitucci is a bass player and Petrucci is a guitar player and they play very different genres of music. I’m curious as to why you think Patitucci could play circles around Petrucci. Any reason?

[@Phillyfast]

I'll second what Sannivas Reddy said. Both are AMAZING musicians that play different instruments and very different genres of music. Both Patitucci and Petrucci seem to be very down-to-earth people.

[@AudioReplica2023]

I still use the Roland expansion board "Bass&Drums" which includes samples from Marcus Miller , Abraham Laboriel jr and John Patitucci. The JP bass is my fav for making music . It just fit in every mix .

[@JunkieMonkey321]

Love him in Dreem Theador!

[@nelsono4315]

watching this in 2022 but it doesn't matter. Love JP! Phenomenal bassist!

[@nitetrane98]

JP became one of my favorite bassists when I heard him on Natalie Cole's Orange Colored Sky. "Who is that guy?" moment.

[@DBSplayers]

sick guy!

[@CaliforniaBushman]

John never played at the Bitter end?? Glad he got to play with Vinnie again, tho. And Oz.

[@CaliforniaBushman]

My Parents are very old world. Their from Brooklyn. Their values in life are god, and carpeting.

[@thatitaliantrucker140]

Cannot unsee that JP John Patitucci looks like JP Joe Pesci

[@ShortFuseFighting]

every bass player worth his salt should strive to be John Patitucci (and inevitably fall short) but still...

[@Arthemesia]

How many people accidentally clicked this thinking it was John Petrucci?

[@pip5528]

His name looks too much like John Petrucci. I almost thought this was a joke. LOL

[@riffsnreviews]

Me too I thought it was going to be a spoof video for some Petrucci gear or something lol... Never heard of Mr Patitucci.

[@muse-mech-moda]

'Never heard of Mr Patitucci.' - ouch - really? Blimey!

[@riffsnreviews]

Yep turns out that I don't not know of every single pro musician in the world -_-' I'll add that it turns out that I do not know of every band that exists in the world, never heard of "Chick Corea Elektric Band" . I guess that not listening to Jazz must make me ignorant ... Blimey, crazy right ?!

[@traviselswick4652]

You're a little sensitive there buddy.

[@mikhaildsouza5635]

Well John had a shave

[@DeejayRach0]

Very high IQ

[@kappachino2569]

I didn't know John Petrucci plays bass
