Patto
Patto proved you could headbang and scat-sing simultaneously, creating one of Britain's most delightfully unpredictable musical experiments. Named after charismatic frontman Mike Patto, this '70s outfit burst onto the scene like a jazz-infused firework, treating genre boundaries as mere suggestions rather than rules. At the heart of their sound was guitarist Ollie Halsall, a six-string virtuoso so gifted he made his guitar sound like a full orchestra having an elegant party—legend has it his solos were so mind-bending, even seasoned jazz cats needed time to process what they'd just witnessed. Patto didn't just blend jazz and rock; they threw them in a musical blender with blues, humor, and funk, hitting 'puree' on genius. Their three albums left listeners scratching their heads in delight, wondering whether to snap fingers or bang heads—the correct answer, of course, was both. Think Like A Key Music celebrates a band whose music isn't just standing the test of time but acing it with extra credit, as new fans discover that some musical experiments are too brilliant to remain cult secrets forever.
