The Pat Petrillo Big Rhythm Band
The Power Station Sessions - Release Party
at the Cutting Room NYC
On Sunday,
October 9, 2022, we went to The Cutting Room in New York City for the
launch party of The Pat Petrillo Big Rhythm Band - The Power Station
Sessions, and it was a perfect afternoon listening to live jazz in an
intimate venue. Pat and the band played all of the songs on the new release
from a few songs from his prior album, The Abbey Road Sessions.

The Pat Petrillo Band
Joining Pat
Petrillo on drums, were his band comprised of Jeff Levine on organ, B.D.
Lenz on guitar, Greg Novak on bass, horn section: Gary, Jim,
Steve Jankowski on trumpet, Tom Timko on tenor and soprano
saxophone, and Meredith Forman on alto saxophone.
Pat and the
band opened with one of Pat's songs entitled, Global Warming, which
kicked the performance into high gear. Next on the playlist, was a Steely Dan
song, Black Cow, which Pat told the audience was named for a candy,
followed by a fantastic instrumental cover of the Billy Joel song, Big Man
on Mulberry Street, which was smoking hot with his 5-member horn section,
and B.D. Lenz working his magic on the guitar, and Jeff Levine layering in some
fine organ.
Pat Petrillo
Pat
introduced the next song, 48th Street, which he said will be
released as a single in November, as an homage to the actual 48th
Street in New York City, where back in its day was where all the musicians
would go to hang out and buy their equipment. While "music row" is no more, Pat
keeps its memory vibrant and alive with his new composition.
Bringing on
the Jersey sound, the band kicked into Asbury Daze, then slid into a
smooth jazz groove with the cover of the 1976 Stevie Wonder song, Knocks Me
Off My Feet, off Stevie's Songs in the Key of Life album.
B. D. Lenz and Pat Petrillo
Reverting
to Pat's prior 2019 release, The Abbey Road Sessions, the band segued
into the 1968 Paul McCartney song, Martha My Dear, which Pat explained
Paul wrote for his dog. Keeping with The Beatles theme, next up was the song Lady
Madonna, followed by what Pat described as one of his and wife's favorite
Beetles songs, Got to Get You into My Life, which he did as a mashup of
The Beatles and Earth, Wind, & Fire.
Pat
conjured up the spirit of New Orleans with the song, Hey, Pocky Way
featuring B.D. Lenz on guitar, followed by cover of the 1977 Earth, Wind &
Fire song, Runnin' off their All ‘n Album, which Pat included on
his new album, The Power Station Sessions, to deftly close out the
performance. If you love instrumental jazz lead by a masterful drummer, if you
get a chance to attend one of his upcoming performances, we highly recommend
you do so, and in the meantime, we hope that you will pick up a copy of The
Pat Petrillo Big Rhythm Band - The Power Station Sessions and give it a
listen.
