John Patton - The Organization! The Best of 'Big' John Patton
Year: 1963-70
Label: Blue Note (1994)
Total time: 78:03
Bitrage: 320 kbps

Super 78-minute anthology of Patton's prime (1963-70) era, unfortunately released only in the U.K., drawn from nine albums. 1963's

"Along Came John," and 1966's "Amanda," and the two cuts from his best album, 1965's Let 'Em Roll ( "The Turnaround" and

"Latona" ) are particular cookers, but the organ-guitar-horn groove is always solid, and the riffs basic but compelling. This is some of

the best soul-jazz ever, usually featuring Grant Green on guitar, though a young James Ulmer takes over on axe for the 1970-era cuts.
