内容介绍
“我想与大家分享从我第一次接触爵士乐至今26年的经历，谈谈这段时间内爵士乐的发展趋势，以及我参加过的爵士音乐节并从中窥探爵士乐的变化。此外，我还会与大家聊聊我在亚洲参加爵士音乐节的经历及爵士乐在亚洲的出现与发展。最后，我会向大家介绍All About Jazz这个网站以及中国的音乐家及爵士乐迷如何从这个网站获益。”
“The idea is to share my personal experience of jazz in the 26 years since I first came to it. I will talk about trends and changes during that time, and will talk about festivals I have attended and how they reflect changes in jazz, and I will talk about my experiences in festivals in Asia, the emerging jazz industry in Asia, and at the end I will talk about how All About Jazz can potentially benefit Chinese musicians and jazz fans.”

Ian Patterson自我介绍：
1986年的尼斯爵士音乐节是我第一次真正接触到爵士乐。Miles Davis的现场演出征服了我，并使我改变。一年后，我悄悄离开贝尔法特斯，来到伦敦。此后的四年，我参加了许多现场音乐演出，从Bowie到Fairport Convention，从Fleetwood Mac到NusratFateh Ali Khan，从Roy Harper到Frank Zappa。然而，爵士乐，是我的音乐道路上的灵药。我纵横于ol’ town, 英国及欧洲大陆，只为了看见Oscar Peterson, Stan Getz, Ray Charles, John McLaughlin, Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey, Courtney Pine, John Scofield, Sun Ra, Etta James, Andy Sheppard, Wayne Shorter, James Blood Ulmer以及 Miles的演出。在地中海沿岸的意大利、西班牙的十年，使我像热爱弗朗明哥、红酒以及被人轻视的午睡般，用更欧洲的视角热爱着爵士乐。目前，我以东南亚为根据地，热切关注如小虎鲸般罕有的爵士乐师工作。但偶尔能发现这两样事物，所以我还是对生活抱有希望。我现在看起来并不像一名有名的印度电影演员。
Ian is dedicated to the promotion of jazz and all creative music all over the world, and to catching just a little piece of it for himself.
“The Nice jazz festival of 1986 was my first real exposure to jazz. Miles Davis’ opening number blew me away and I was instantly converted. A year later I had slipped unnoticed out of Belfast and arrived in London, kneecaps intact. For the next four years I feasted on live music; from Bowie to Fairport Convention, from Fleetwood Mac to NusratFateh Ali Khan, from Roy Harper to Frank Zappa. Jazz however, was my musical drug of choice and I criss-crossed the dirty ol’ town, the country, and continental Europe to see the likes of Oscar Peterson, Stan Getz, Ray Charles, John McLaughlin, Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey, Courtney Pine, John Scofield, Sun Ra, Etta James, Andy Sheppard, Wayne Shorter, James Blood Ulmer and of course Miles. Ten years in Mediterranean Italy and Spain gave me a more European perspective on jazz as well as a love for flamenco, red wine and the much underrated siesta. I am currently loosely based in S.E. Asia where I am keeping an eye out for jazz gigs which are almost as rare as the Irrawaddy dolphin. Both are sometimes spotted so I live in hope. I do not at present look like a famous Indian movie actor.”
