Vibraphonist, marimbist, improviser and composer Patricia Brennan “has been widely feted as one of the instrument’s newer leaders” observed The New York City Jazz Record. Growing up in Veracruz, Mexico, Patricia’s childhood immersed her in the rich musical culture that developed her artistic voice. Patricia’s search for freedom in her musical expression led her to extending the range and sonic possibilities through the vibraphone and mallet percussion in improvisational music and composition. Patricia’s first album, “Maquishti”, was #4 in the New York Time’s top 10 jazz albums of 2021. Patricia was voted Downbeat magazine’s rising star vibraphonist award on the 70th Critics Poll for 2022. Her latest album, “More Touch” was included in several Best Jazz Albums of 2022 lists such as NPR Best Music of 2022, Bandcamp and PopMatters. The opener track “Unquiet Respect”, from the record “More Touch”, was listed under NPR’s 100 Best Songs of 2022, a list featuring music from all genres. Patricia works both as a leader and side person for renowned artists such as Grammy winning Arturo O’Farrill’s Afro Latin Jazz Big Band, the Grammy nominated John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble, Michael Formanek Ensemble Kolossus, Mary Halvorson’s Amaryllis amongst other groups and collectives. She has performed in venues such as Newport Jazz Festival and Carnegie Hall, as well as several international venues. Patricia is a Valley of Search, Pyroclastic Records, Audeze, and BlueHaus Mallets artist.
