Having had the privilege of studying with three of the iconic Jazz guitarists, Harry Leahey, Roland Prince, and classical music master Uli Jon Roth. Leahey studied with the legendary Johnny Smith and Dennis Sandole, who gave lessons to Coltrane. Having links to these jazz masters I now look to teach improvisation. Any instruments are welcome.

MORE ABOUT PATRICK

B I O

Butler played with jazz legends James Spaulding and Richie Cole, but started getting more gigs in the R&B market. He also did studio work at most of the famous recording studios in the Tri State area, including the infamous Joe Robinson’s All Platinum Studios.

After touring stints with the 50s icon, The Drifters, Butler was invited to join The Fatback Band, a Polydor Records funk unit from Queens, New York. The first record he recorded with Fatback, Brite Lites/Big City, went gold. He recorded two more records with the band, including XII, which contains the track King Tim III, the first rap track ever released on a major label. Butler spent the next several years touring extensively with Fatback.
