On Saturday, June 8 at 8pm, the Nashville Jazz Workshop welcomes pianist Pat Coil for a return engagement in the Jazz Cave. Pat’s performances are always top-notch, and this one should be no exception! Pat will be joined by drummer Danny Gottlieb, bassist Craig Nelson, saxophonist Mark Douthit, and guitarist Pat Bergeson.

He has toured Japan, South America, Europe and the U.S. with such artists as Michael McDonald, Carmen McCrae, Olivia Newton John, Amy Grant, Vince Gill, Woody Herman and many others. Partial recording credits include Natalie Cole, Trisha Yearwood, Ernie Watts, Carmen McCrae, BeBe & CeCe Winans, Kenny Rogers, Travis Tritt, Peter Cetera, Woody Herman, Scott Henderson, and Michael McDonald. His talent spans the musical spectrum of jazz, pop, R&B, gospel, and country.

He has performed on hundreds of TV and film scores; and has composed, produced and performed on countless underscores heard on a variety of media all over the world. Pat taught jazz piano, combos, and improvisation at Middle Tennessee State University, and was an Associate Professor of Jazz Studies at the University Of North Texas.

Pat currently tours with Michael McDonald, and makes numerous appearances with his own group. He has recorded six solo jazz albums of his own, the third one being a collaboration with Lyle Mays. ‘True North’ and ‘Bird House’ are available at patcoil.com and CDbaby.com.
