Patáx
"Patax" released in 2008, is a self released album, with which Jorge starts his career as composer and producer. Mostly instrumental, the album shows elements and musical ideas that will be developed in future works. The album also includes Jorge´s first song with lyrics ever: "The Wellknown Stranger", sung by Nicolas Majluf. This song will be sung by Alana Sinkey and Lady Pepper many years later in different albums. The name "Patax" was originally intended to be only the name of this first album but later became the name of the project itself.

Patáx - Jorge Pérez
Released in 2011 and published by AYVA Records, was entirely recorded in Boston during Jorge´s years at Berklee College Of Music, as a result of the collaboration between Jorge and Producer Pablo Valero. This colorful collection of tunes, some instrumental, some not, showcases many students, classmates of Jorge at Berklee, that would turn into renowned performers in the following years such as Kalani Trinidad on Flute, Litauras Janusaitis on tenor sax, Juan Pérez on Piano or Vanessa Collier on alto sax among others.
Patáx
(2012) is Patax first album recorded in in the Post-Berklee era. Its clearly the starting point of the Patax actual concept for several reasons: 1) It´s the first one recorded live in the studio, which is today one of Patax trademarks. 2) It establishes the core of the group of musicians that will be the touring and recording band for the following years. Here we find Marcos Collado, Carlos Sanchez, Valentin Iturat and Fabrizio Scarafile for the first time. 3) The recording of the album is entirely filmed by video, giving birth to a formula that will be used by Jorge from that point on: Every single Patax song recorded after this, will be released along with the video of its actual live recording.
Patáx
(2013) is a tribute to Michael Jackson musical legacy. The video of Patax´s arrangement of Man In The Mirror, included in the previous album "Live From Infinity", caught the attention of Mexican psychologist and former Michael Jackson´s dancer Hugo Harrel who got in contact with Jorge to propose the idea of making this tribute. Universal hits such as Smooth Criminal, Billie Jean and Black Or White among others, where arranged by Jorge for this album, which lead to a beautiful collection of self produced videos that have been viewed by millions of people worldwide.

Patax
(2015) is a crucial album in the history of Patax. Recorded on a fall night at the Teatro Calderón in Madrid, Jorge proved to himself that all the previous work had made a real impact in people. A full theater witnessed the suden adulthood of this project. No promoters, no management office and no main stream media helped. Just Patax with their own tools, making a statement and recording an incredible live album and DVD. The album Showcases vocalists Alana Sinkey and Paula Dominguez.
Patáx
(2016) is the confirmation that what happened a year before in Madrid was no causality. This time at Teatro Rialto in Madrid, the band recorded a powerful concert, that added to some songs recorded live in the studio, makes an incredible double album that represents perfectly what this band is today, and shows that 100% live recording is the natural habitat of these ensemble.
Patáx
Putting Pepper on it recorded on January 1st 2019 is the result of a little concert at the disappeared Bogui, in Madrid. The idea was capturing the essence of what a Patax concert in a jazz club is. This album is the first one where the main vocalist is not Alana Sinkey but Pepa Solana (Lady Pepper). The little acoustic format (just rhythm section plus backing vocals and sax) gives a completely new approach to a great collection of originals plus a few Patax-type covers, and proves that the essence of Patax is indifferent to the bands format and lineup.
