Hello and thanks for the tip!

I purchased the "OH Baby" CD a while ago and most of the Rare Groove series has been great so far so after a nice quick listen on amazon I gave it a try. Definately my kind of music

I will get back after I get it (like in 10 days or so)

Thanks again

Hi all!

Yeah I got it safely here in Sweden and I think it's GOOD!

Patton has a really gentle touch withe the hammond ;-)

However I do not care so much for the tenors' squeals on some of the songs. "Lack of imagination I" call it.

Otherwise fine and many thanks for the tip

Perhaps the imagination lacking might be your own.

[Rooster_Ties]

For what it's worth, BOOGALOO is probably my all-time favorite John Patton album.

(And in large measure, because of the imaginative work the tenor player. )

[Guest]

Yes you might be right guys

Squelling is just not my bag at the moment.

Taste, among us jazz-lover, is just a little different sometimes as we have seen in numerous threads and I fully respect those who like different things than I do.

Maybe in the future I will appreciate it more who knows....

I'm heavily into Lou Donaldson and Hank Mobley at the moment and there the squeels are not so present.

do you like the blue john cd?

[Guest]

Hi Soulstation1!

Never heard it!

Looks like it was only issued in Japan as a TOJC.

I like Tommy Turrentine and Grant Green a lot so it sounds interesting. And recorded in 1963......

Well what do you think about it??

Quote:

"Braith's piercing, honking stabs are what really liven up the proceedings" - well it would be interesting to hear

The review of it from Allmusic:

Big John Patton's second album, Blue John, was one of several '60s sessions the organist led for Blue Note that remained unissued until much later (in this case, 1986). Although the six selections are all straightforward soul-jazz, the results end up far more offbeat than one might expect. That's due largely to the presence of soprano sax/stritch player George Braith, one of the very few Rahsaan Roland Kirk disciples to master the art of playing multiple horns simultaneously. Braith is far and away the most distinctive element of Patton's quintet, which also includes trumpeter Tommy Turrentine and frequent Patton collaborators Grant Green on guitar and Ben Dixon on drums. While the grooving interplay between Patton, Green, and Dixon is as instinctive as ever, Braith's piercing, honking stabs are what really liven up the proceedings, giving Blue John a crazed sense of fun that makes it one of Patton's most infectious and enjoyable records. There may be something of a novelty element to Braith's playing, but bluesy, groove-centered soul-jazz rarely sounds this bright and exuberant, which is reason enough not to dismiss his contributions. Highlights include the opener, "Hot Sauce," one of Braith's signature compositions, and drummer Dixon's "Nicety." ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
