Jazz saxophonist Patrieck Bonnet captivates the audience with his warm tone and timbre. Having studied in the Netherlands and Germany, he has taken many steps as a music artist.

He is a wilful, versatile saxophonist and clarinettist who is at home in various genres of music. He has performed with orchestras such as the Dutch Jazz Collective, Peter Beets & New Jazz Orchestra, Koninklijke Marinierskapel, Orkest van de Koninklijke Marechaussee and the Nederlands Douane Orkest.

In 2019, his role as bandleader began with the Patrieck Bonnet Quintet. Gradually in this project, Patrieck brings out his own voice as a soloist, arranger and composer.

In 2021, he released his debut album “Hommage”, a tribute to his grandfather, an important composer of music for concert band; Karel van Dijck, after which the band held a very memorable release tour. 

Patrieck is currently working on the next album for his quintet. 

Besides giving concerts, Patrieck is passionate about helping fellow musicians through DispoKinesis.

Dispokinesis is a posture and movement teaching specifically aimed at musicians, developed by G.O. van der Klashorst. Dispokinesis can be used both preventively, and for rehabilitation of playing injuries.

In 2019, Patrieck started working as a bandleader and formed his own group. This project became one of his most important musical statements, this project shows what Patrieck stands for musically.

Patrieck’s playing is deeply rooted in mainstream jazz, but also incorporates the timbre (including on clarinet) from classical. His strong sense of elocution and melody are supported by highly experienced musicians who ensure that everyone on stage sparkles and is free to express themselves in sound. The ambition is to do this in as many places as possible.

A long-held desire of Patrieck was to get more in touch with his grandfather, composer Karel van Dijck (1927-1995). So in August 2021, he released his debut album, “Homage,” with the Zennez label. “Homage” is an ode to the composer and his grandfather Karel van Dijck. Patrieck’s arranged three suites by Van Dijck and added two compositions of his own.

“Hommage” can be thought of as a “Coming of Age story” in which Van Dijck’s originally classical suites are performed with respect for the original, but later subtly transition into Jazz. Gradually while listening to Patrieck’s debut album, his own sound emerges more and more. “Homage To One Who Has Flown Away” is a compelling story, with playful but also melancholic elements, that is carried out with care.

The album release was held at the Amersfoort Jazz Festival on August 21, 2021.
