Patto was a progressive jazz-rock band formed in England in 1970 formed by vocalist Mike Patto with a lineup taken from Timebox consisting of vocalist Patto, drummer John Halsey, guitarist and vibraphone player Ollie Halsall and bassist Clive Griffiths.

 

This is a forgotten classic progressive jazz rock album by the great British jazz rockers Patto. The band were formed from the ashes of Timebox and were named after the wild man of UK rock, the late Mike Patto, (born Michael Thomas McCarthy on September 22, 1942 in Cirencester, Gloucestershire: died on 4th March 1979, from lymphatic leukaemia). Lucky enough to be signed to Vertigo, the label of many progressive rock classics, Patto went into the studio with Muff Winwood as producer. Winwood had left the Spencer Davis Group in 1967, in order to take up the job a the head of A&R at Chris Blackwell's Island Records. Winwood decided to record Patto with a 'live-in-the studio' feel. "Patto" was released in November, 1970, and it is a brilliant album. The album is remarkable, not only for Ollie Halsall's extraordinary guitar work , who was capable of amazing jazz inspired runs and unimaginable peaks of distortion on both the electric guitar and vibraphone, but also for the bands expert handling of complex time signatures and jazz changes. Mike Patto himself, was a great vocalist who could handle smooth ballads, screaming rock and roll, and the middle ground as well. The album received great critical acclaim by both the music press and fellow musicians. But this great album was a commercial failure, and reportedly only sold about 5,000 copies. This may sound incredible, but it was certainly not unusual in the early seventies, as there were so many great bands around, and the competition was intense. This album is VHR by A.O.O.F.C as one of the best progressive prog. jazz rock albums of the seventies.
