Pat's been out in recent times mainly with the Side Eye Trios that incorporate keyboard bass and generally lesser known sidemen. About 20 years ago his Trio mates included the phenomenal Christian McBride on bass, and his long time drummer of choice, Antonio Sanchez. Those are the musicians in the Trio represented here.
These performances come from a boot entitle Solaria. I can't honestly recall where I got it, but I think it was purchased rather than something I got via cd-r trading. In any case, the bulk of this is from an audience capture. Given the timeframe, I'm assuming it was a DAT recording. It's a really good capture from what I'm guessing may have been an outdoor venue. There is some chatter here, and there, but it's not particularly intrusive. From what I see in the dimebot archive, it doesn't seem that this Sesto Fiorentino show has been shared here before.
The 2 cd-r boot was rounded out with 5 tracks that came from a year earlier at the Marciac Festival in France. The dimebot archive does show that they were shared here as part of the complete Marciac show back in 2004 by gillus, and again in video form. Guessing these audios from Marciac connect somehow to those shares.
Tracks 1-4 are solo Pat, track 10 is a duo with Pat and Christian, and the other tracks are the whole trio. The Italian tracks didn't have much bottom, and Pat's synclavier guitar at the end of Question and the remaining Sesto tracks was pretty abrasive and a bit overdriven. That led me to EQ all of the Sesto tracks in foobar and use those versions in this torrent. I didn't do anything to the Marciac tracks, but I'll point out that Question and Answer from Marciac is only the "2nd half" that would've followed the Antonio Sanchez drum solo. Question and Answer is heard in its entirety from Sesto Fiorentino. The re-tracking in Audacity reference above was done to combine the 2 tracks into which it had been divided on disc, and it appears at its full 23 minute length.
