Born on August 8, 1974, in Schenectady, NY, jazz saxophonist Brian Patneaude originally played drums in his high-school rock band, the ironically named Fusion. Going from metalhead to jazzer, Patneaude was introduced to the music of <a href="spotify:artist:7vNcTk9TgKF0qDsS87nWGE">David Sanborn</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5IkynsVZoak9UR2Xt8qsMj">Michael Brecker</a> by his band director and soon began serious jazz studies. Eventually attending the College of St. Rose, Patneaude graduated in 1996 with a degree in music education. Since then, the tenor saxophonist has performed with such varied artists as Alex Torres y Los Reyes Latinos, the Refrigerators, Terry Gordon, <a href="spotify:artist:3t7Avey0inCDb7fAsreD2Z">George Muscatello</a>, and others as well as pursued a masters degree at the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati. He released his debut album, Variations, with his quartet in 2003. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi
