Born on January 18, 1940, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, PatBritt’s musical odyssey began in San Mateo, California. Initially drawn torhythm and blues, his passion for music blossomed when he discovered jazz atthe age of 17. Despite a late start, Pat quickly mastered the saxophone,forging a path in the vibrant San Francisco jazz scene.

In 1957, a serendipitous encounter with Pete Douglas at hisbeach house on Miramar Beach in Half Moon Bay, sparked a lifelongcollaboration. Together, they pioneered what in 1966 it would recome the renowned Bach Dancing &Dynamite Society, a haven for jazz enthusiasts and musicians alike.

In 1965, Pat had formed his own quintet, which included hisfriends George Muribus on piano, Bruce Wolf, valve trombone; Len Lasher, bass;Paul Distel alternating with Buddy Barnhill, drums; and occasionally Al Molina,on trumpet. The following year with this lineup, Pat recorded his first albumas a leader, but it wasn’t released until 1971. “We did some straight aheadpieces as well as a few blues tunes. It’s kind of unfortunate that the albumhad to sit in the can for so long. Since all the players on the date lived inthe area, we decided to title the album ‘Jazz from San Francisco’.

From 1970 he moved to Los Angeles, where Pat’s musicalprowess shone brightly, both as a performer and as a record producer. Until2000 he graced stages across Los Angeles, leading his quintet and the DirtyDozen band, leaving an indelible mark on the jazz landscape.

In 2005, Pat received recognition for his lasting impact onBach and the jazz community at large. Pete Douglas fondly remembered Pat as thecatalyst for their shared musical journey.

Following Pete’s passing in 2014, Pat’s spirit lived onthrough the Bach’s passionate members, who continued to uphold its musicallegacy. Pat Britt’s unwavering dedication to jazz and his generous spirit willforever resonate in the hearts of all who were touched by his music. May he beremembered fondly.
