Mr. Patri has been working as a percussionist in my group for over a year, playing events in the finest hotels in San Francisco, and in the most prestigious wineries in Napa and Sonoma. He is a consummate professional in his work habits and demeanor. As a player, his rhythm and timing are impeccable, his musical instincts first rate. His accompaniment is tasteful and appropriate and his solos are well constructed, carefully developed, melodic and, above all, musical.
He demonstrates an obvious affinity for Brazilian rhythms. I do not forsee any difficulties in the areas of adaptation, improvisation, or in working with other creative people. Mr. Patri has demonstrated a congenial personality and graceful presence under some trying professional situations, and an ability to get along with many diverse characters.
Sincerely,
Daniel Maya
