Introducing Little One Duo with Yati Durant, trumpet, and David Patrick, Piano

A brand new jazz project!

I’ve known and played with David Patrick for many years now, and finally we have developed the Little One Duo to really reach for a unique, intimate and distinct jazz sound. Striving to play the music of Kenny Wheeler, Bud Powell, Miles Davis, and many others, Little One Duo creates an atmosphere in our new demo recordings on this page here.
