.:.impossible Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'm really enjoying this album, but I've learned that I'm just so much less critical as a listener than edc and akanalog, and others here. helen, you should definitely sign up for emusic. this is a perfect album to blow five downloads on. cost me less than a buck and a half.

JSngry Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I really dig that Grant Reed cat here, but then again, I dig the shit outta Marvin Cabell, so that tells you how wrong about things I am. And I think that this is "in the vein" of Accent On The Blues, which is my favorite Patton album, period, only with a tighter band and better tunes. I [refer it to some of the BNs, actually. So why isn't this my favorite BJP side? Because I'm wrong about shit, that's why. But fuck it - my world, my rules, my right. Everybody got theirs, I got mine.

kh1958 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 It seems like a rather good record to me as well. Especially the first and the last tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Stream Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'm with you on Grant Reed, Jim. I don't know anything else about him. Seems like Newark grew guys like these by the numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 He was with Mongo a little earlier, that's all I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 What a gem. How did I miss this one first time around. Patton's near the Larry Young end of the B3 spectrum here and is on top form. Lovely stuff from Moncur, Reed and Queen. Highly recommended. Vide another thread, got this one from Caiman, came within a week and at a great price (for the UK).

I picked this up as a result of the enthusiasm expressed in this thread and I'm glad I did. A good, solid session with a little more invention than a usual organ- led one. Was impressed with Grant Reed in particular. Anyone know his background and/or other work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know his background and/or other work? googled a little (had a bit of difficulties of getting warm with soul connection in the beginning, making my way now after the third listen...) for Grant Reed; as mentioned above he is on some Mongo Santamaria LPs (Mongo 70 and Mongo's Way), he is also on Shamek Farrah's La Dee La La Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
