My suggestion would be Tenor player Bobby Mintzer. They have both played with so many of the same musicians I think they would have common ground and yet each bring something interesting to the mix.

Peterw Mar 19 2013 at 7:15 AM	I wouldn’t call him a second tier player by a long shot. Check out "Twin Tenors" recording with Bobby and Michael Brecker together. Also some great work with the later version of Steps Ahead. His Big Band work is truly amazing as a leader.

s in Boston Mar 18 2013 at 12:06 PM	Mintzer? Seriously? He’s a second-tier guy. And not exactly a new, emerging talent.

yossarian Mar 15 2013 at 7:44 PM	I know, Jerry Bergonzi. That would work. Wow. Get it on! Sometimes I think Pat and Sanborn could be happening... different concepts but could complement each other. As long as Pat did the writing... What about Pat playing with a trombonist. Haven’t heard that. Mind you the collaboration that honestly works best is with Lyle Mays. That sounds good. Potter/Metheny has legs also.
franksexton Mar 14 2013 at 6:23 PM	For myself, I would like to see Pat play with the Dave Holland Quintet.
thehague Mar 14 2013 at 5:27 PM	Well, Pat with the Yellowjackets is a tantalizing and mesmerising idea.
