“John Patitucci, az amerikai-olasz származású, muzsikus 1959 december 22-én Brooklynban, New Yorkban született. 10 esztendős kora óta basszusgitározik, 15 volt amikor elkezdett bőgőzni és egy évre rá pedig zongorázni.
Komolyzenét tanult a San Francisco-i, illetve a Long Beach-i állami egyetemeken, majd Los Angelesben vállalt munkát session zenészként. Kevés az olyan élvonalbeli jazzista, akivel nem játszott együtt koncerten vagy lemezfelvételen. Elsősorban Chick Coreával (Elektric Band és Akoustic Band), Herbie Hancockkal, Wayne Shorterrel, Stan Getz-szel, Wynton Marsalis-szal és Michael Breckerrel készített emlékezetes alkotásokat.
1987 és 2006 között 12 szólóalbumot készített, szinte mindegyiket más-más műfajban (post bop, fusion, brazil jazz), mesterien megkomponált és előadott művekkel. Patitucci rettentően kifinomult, hangulatos játéka generációjának immár egyik vitathatatlan klasszikusává tette.
Lenyűgöző tudását az oktatás révén igyekszik továbbadni, sokszor tart workshopokat, valamint Ron Carter utódaként a The City College of New York professzora lett, de tanít a Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz-en is. Magyar basszusgitár-tanítványa Studniczky „Zsatyi” László, s készített egy lemezt a Szakcsi Generationnel is.
Talán legemlékezetesebb magyarországi szereplése az egyedülálló gála-fellépés volt Pat Metheny-vel és Jack DeJohnette-tel a BKK-ban 2003-ban. ” (GregJazz)
