notes

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 and special guest legendary jazz clarinetist-Buddy Defranco, and you've got "All In Blue Tme"- 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 flare 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"

  • Jay Patten Is an A-1 Musician.
    author: John Gamble

    I have enjoyed Jay Patten's performances for several years with the Crystal Gayle aggregation, as well as on his own CD's. Believe me, this CD does not disappoint. The arrangements, as well as the performances and the quality of the recording, are excellent. A plus is the appearance of the great Buddy Defranco.

  • I love his voice. Very smooth and and easy to groove to!!
    author: Diana Newton

    I love this CD. The combination of his voice and the instruments creates a fun and romantic mood. I especially like Flight from South Jersey and Forget About it. Dance in your Dreams is a great song for slow dancing. Actually the whole CD contains some fabulous songs for dancing or just listening with a glass of wine or a martini. I can't wait for the next CD by Jay Patten.

  • Old Favorites plus Original Compositions
    author: Bruce Thompson

    This is a mostly vocal performance by Jay Patten & band, with two great instrumentals dueting with Buddy DeFranco on clarinet (Melancholy Serenade - Jackie Gleason Theme, and Somewhere in the Night - Naked City Theme). Personally, I think he is best playing sax, not vocally. Of course in his day job, he is bandleader for Crystal Gayle, so he already knows that! Far Away Places is my favorite vocal, uptempo & reminds me of Bobby Darin at his best. Many new compositions, most of which have a film noir flavor.
