About this user

The saxophone player and composer Norbert Stein established the Pata Music label, to document his work with a variety of ensembles: Pata, Horns & Drums; Pata Generators; Pata Masters; Pata Orchestra; Pata Horns; Pata Trio and Pata Blue Chip.

Beside performing in Europe, he went on numerous concert tours such as to Brazil, Africa, USA, Australia, Singapore and Indonesia. Several musical encounters were realized in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut. You will find these international music cooperations documented on various PATA CDs.

The name 'Pata Music' is derived from the work of the French writer Alfred Jarry, who developed a theory of 'pata physics', defined as a science based on "unreal logic and a new reality beyond the borders of the world of external appearances removed from the usual principles of causality."

Another definition is "the science of imaginary solutions (which) defines the way to gain knowledge avoiding the rigorous rules of reason and tradition, without disrespecting them"...which is a fair description of how Norbert creates his music with respect to the orthodoxies of the jazz tradition.

As a bandleader and composer, Norbert's approach is to create structures or atmospheres in which his colleagues can articulate their own ideas; spontaneity and interaction between the players are emphasised. His goal is to create music that constantly changes and evolves, and in which each performance is unique.

"Pata Music is full of surprises, it is open to all sorts of influences, it tears down fences of seemingly contradictory idioms, and coming from jazz improvisation, it builds up something new and exciting."
