Unbeknownst to this Bay State resident, our governor, Deval Patrick, is the sun (typo, but it works) of Pat Patrick, an alto/baritone saxophonist who played with Ellington, Monk, and Coltrane, but was best known as a long-time member of the Sun Ra Arkestra. Deval just donated his father’s archives to the Berklee College of Music. Here’s Patrick playing baritone on “Enlightenment” from the 1959 Sun Ra release Jazz in Silhouette.
