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.
