Biography jazz guitarist Patrick Yandall

 

*After his family finally settled in Michigan, as a young boy, Yandall fell in love with the progressive styles of Jimi Hendrix, Yes, Steely Dan, and George Benson. Attending a concert of Jeff Lorber as a young musician, was a life-changing moment and steered his vision towards jazz music. At thirteen years old, performed at nightclubs all over Michigan. Adult bars and venues. Yandall would learn to unite the heart of jazz with the flavors of rock and R&B. A summer music program in Boston & New York and attending Central Michigan University would help the guitarist to focus his talents on a jazz-funk approach.
*Yandall moved to San Diego in the early 1980’s. Playing in a few cover bands in the SoCal area garnered the musician some important contacts, which lead to studio work in Los Angeles for Capitol Records. This would find him a trusted place performing occasionally with the likes of Kevin Flournoy, Darryl Walker, Jervonny Collier, Cedrice Ce, Lamont Dozier Jr., Rebecca Jade, J. Michael Verta, Michael Paulo, Scott Wilkie, Carl Evans, Jr. (Fattburger), Greg Vail (Kilauea), Tom Braxton, and many more. Also working with artists like Randy Brecker, Will Lee, Joel Rosenblatt (Spyro Gyra), who played on his “From the Ashes’ CD (2004). But concentrating on his own music has always been the priority! A favored producer and featured artist, Yandall has produced and/or recorded for NBC, KUSI 51, Muzak, The Weather Channel, and various San Diego media outlets. His music has appeared in feature films like “Run” 2020,

Movies and TV credits: “Run” “Fruitvale Station”, “War, Inc.” and TV shows such as “Young Sheldon” “Speechless” “New Girl” “Girls” “Shameless” “Raising Hope” “Impulse” and many more!

          Session guitarwork Kevin Flournoy, Darryl Walker, Will Donato, Under the Lake, Nathan Brown, Rocco Ventrella, Jarez, and many more recording artists. He’s appeared nationally in scores of major jazz festivals and contemporary jazz venues. PBS aired a special on Patrick and his music that was aired in the Midwest. His commercially released projects have charted on Billboard, and the last 4 have been in Grammy consideration in the “Contemporary Instrumental” category.

*His focus has always been to create more music and improve as a guitarist, composer, producer, engineer, and multi-instrumentalist. His music is everywhere and that has always been the goal of this serious and prolific musician! JazzBro
