How would you like to spend your nights in close proximity to the gorgeous Crystal Gayle? Well Jay Patten did just that as Crystal’s long time sax man and bandleader... thousands of hours spent alongside on stages, in studios, airplanes, trains and boats (and buses)! Born in New Jersey and educated at Berklee, Jay is a multi-instrumentalist with God given vocal chords. His new album, CRYSTAL NIGHTS, has seven smooth groove instrumentals and six vocals. Jay plays every kind of sax on the album together with mandolin, guitar and even a Native American flute. Key tracks include an upbeat rendition of the Elvis classic “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” a 1950’s style ballad “I Don’t Have the Heart To Say Goodbye” co-written with Blue Mink’s Roger Cook and a catchy closer duet with Miss Gayle “Memories are Made of This.” But our focus track for Smooth Jazz is in-the-pocket hit “Bussin’ to Memphis.” Real champagne moments from beginning to end!
