Bio:	John Patitucci was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1959 and began playing the electric bass at age ten. He began performing and composing at age 12, at age 15 began to play the acoustic bass, and then started the piano at age 16. He quickly moved from playing soul and rock to blues, jazz and classical music. His eclectic tastes caused him to explore all types of music as a player and a composer. Since 1985, his association with Chick Corea has brought him worldwide acclaim and put him at the forefront of the jazz world, and he has performed with countless luminaries of the jazz world. John has always felt a call to mentor and teach young musicians and to help further and sustain the art of jazz and bass playing around the world. In 2002, John began teaching at The City College of New York and was a Professor of Jazz Studies there for ten years. He has also been involved with the Betty Carter Jazz Ahead program in Washington, D.C. and the The Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz. John is a frequent clinician and guest lecturer at schools around the world and a regular featured performer at the International Society of Bassists conventions. He is currently a Visiting Scholar at Berklee, teaching in both the Global Jazz Institute and the Bass Department. John currently resides in New York with his wife Sachi, a cellist, and their two daughters.
