"To say that Larry Pattis' first CD, Random Chance, is exquisite would be an understatement. What we have here is a joy, a work of art existing in an environment of music as 'product.' An artist should project warmth, an artist should be creative, an artist should produce some sort of emotion besides boredom … individuals such as Pattis don't promise a thing. They deliver. If music can heal, Pattis created the medicine." — William Athey, The Event, Salt Lake City "Pattis, in his usual perfectionist mode, leaves nothing to chance. In tune after tune, he sets the scene with only the help of his delicate fingering and a lifetime of practice. He speaks to a special place in all of us where we are better than we think we are."
