1LP Vinyl – JAZZR 012

Re-Issue of hard to find John Patton album by London based label Jazz Room Records. Big John Patton was one of the most in-demand organists during the golden era of the Hammond B-3 organs between 1963 and 1970. He recorded extensively for Blue Note and performed or collaborated with Grant Green and Lou Donaldson. Patton had a lower profile in the 1970s but enjoyed a comeback in the 1980s and 1990's due to his rediscovery by a young and vibrant Acid Jazz audience. This album was an underground London Jazz Classic from that time and features Avant Gardist Grachan Moncur III, Acid Jazz Guitar Hero Melvin Sparks, a blistering performance from the unknown Grant Reed on sax and the Soulful Drums of session producer Alvin Queen.
