Now released!

Take Jay Patten's smooth vocals along with his distinctive saxophone solos, add the exciting new swing noir orchestra featuring the imaginative arrangements of Jeff Steinberg & special guest legendary jazz clarinetist Buddy DeFranco and you've got "All In Blue Time"--a collection of 14 vocal tracks and 2 instrumentals (including a great new version of Jackie Gleason's "Melancholy Serenade."

The songs range from classic standards (check out "Far Away Places" and "It's Funny to Everyone But Me") to a couple of 60's pop tunes ("Our Day Will Come" and "Those Were The Days") done with a swinging new twist!

Jay wrote 7 brand new songs for "All In Blue Time" that convey joy, romance, mystery, and some big band humor ("Gang of Angels," "Saxophone" and "Forget About It").

"Blue" Jay Patten brings his career experiences (vocalist with the Glenn Miller Orchestra, studio musician, music director for Crystal Gayle, bandleader & performer) to "All in Blue Time." With style and flair he will take you to a time when swing was cool and love seemed to matter more... "You'll get through those nights--All In Blue Time."

Impressions of Christmas

Robert K. Oermann (critic for Gannet Publishing) said of Impressions at Christmas- "as beautiful an instrumental collection as has been released any year anywhere - It's sweet and jazzy, mellow and moody, an atmospheric package of (Christmas) standards played as only our premiere saxophonist could deliver."
