Kim Paterson, the elder statesman of Auckland's jazz community, player of the game, teacher, trumpet player and drummer.
Kim's been playing around New Zealand, Australia and the world since the 1950s, but didn't record his first album as a leader until 1997: Impending Journey, on Mark de Clive-Lowe's shortlived Tap Records label. Even in New Zealand, these Tap Records releases are now very hard to find.

Mink is the opening latin strut from Kim's album, featuring Kevin Field (pn), Jason Jones (ts), Cameron Undy (b), Nicholas McBride (d) and Miguel Fuentes (perc). Impending Journey starts as a medium swinger, and then heads somewhere else entirely. The track featured here is an alternative version of the title track from Kim's album.
I hope visitors enjoy this little slice of jazz music from my hometown.

Yes! K.P. is definitely one of NZ's greatest living jazz musos. I have 'Impending Journey' and it's brilliant. His daughter Mareea is an awesome bass player and has worked with the likes of Tim Finn, Jordan Luck of the Exponents, and Veruca Salt. A talented family!
