The Magnificent Goldberg Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Generally in connection with Don Patterson and John Patton, people keep saying that other organists generally don't work without guitarists (or bass players). But I was listening to Ram Ramirez last night and thought I'd have a butchers through my collection to see what I could find. I didn't include odd tracks on albums without guitarists, only complete albums with neither guitar nor bass. Here's the list - organists names are in brackets when they're not the leader. (Bobby Blivins) Larry “Wild” Wrice - Wild (Charles Boston) Houston Person – Underground soul Milt Buckner & Illinois Jacquet – Go power Milt Buckner & Buddy Tate – Crazy rhythm Milt Buckner & Buddy Tate – Midnight slows vol 4 Milt Buckner, Arnett Cobb & Eddie Chamblee – Midnight slows vol 6 (Sonny Burke) Clarence Wheeler and the Enforcers – Doin’ what we wanna (Eddie Buster) Gene Ammons – Live in Chicago (Eddie Buster) Sonny Stitt – At the D J Lounge Wild Bill Davis – That’s all Wild Bill Davis & Guy Lafitte – Lotus blossom Wild Bill Davis & Dany Doriz – Live at Caveau de la Huchette (Milt Harris) Johnny Lytle – Blue vibes (Milt Harris) Johnny Lytle – Happy ground Jackie Ivory – Soul discovery Gene Ludwig & Cecil Brooks III – Double exposure Jack McDuff – Tuff Duff Don Patterson – The exciting organ of Don Patterson Don Patterson – Hip cake walk Don Patterson – Mellow soul Don Patterson – Patterson’s people Don Patterson – The boss men Don Patterson – Oh happy day (Don Patterson) Sonny Stitt – Soul people (Don Patterson) Sonny Stitt – Just the way it was (Don Patterson) Sonny Stitt – Deuces wild (Don Patterson) Sonny Stitt – Shangri-la (Don Patterson) Sonny Stitt – Night crawler John Patton – Boogaloo John Patton – Understanding Ram Ramirez – Live in Harlem Rhoda Scott – Live at the Key Club Rhoda Scott – Scott/Clarke Rhoda Scott – Summertime Rhoda Scott – Live at the Olympia Rhoda Scott – Take five (Dayton Selby) Eddie Chamblee – The rocking tenor sax Clearly Don Patterson is the main protagonist here, but my collection is pretty light on Milt Buckner, Wild Bill Davis and Rhoda Scott, so I doubt very much if they're properly represented in this list. In particular, I think Rhoda seldom recorded with a guitarist - only one of her albums that I've got has a guitarist, and two of them are compilations from several LPs. Any more? MG Quote

bertrand Posted May 22, 2006 Report Posted May 22, 2006 'Finding a cheap flight to Paris is becoming more urgent'. Someone told me about an airline called Air Ryan (?), round trip London Paris for 30 euros or so. Let me know if you can confirm this. Bertrand. Quote

Someone told me about an airline called Air Ryan (?), round trip London Paris for 30 euros or so. Let me know if you can confirm this. Bertrand. Maybe, but I'm not in London. There used to be cheap flights from Cardiff to Paris when BMI Baby started up. Ideally, I want to do the trip in a day, just to visit the African quarter for K7s and a jazz shop for Rhoda Scott (and now Eddie Louiss) albums. If I have to stay overnight, it becomes too expensive for a record buying spree. MG Quote
DMP Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 Kenny Burrell disappears for about half of "Back At The Chicken Shack" - does this count? Quote
Soul Stream Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 One of my favorites is Shirley Scott with Otis Finch on drums on Stanley Turrentine's "Dearly Beloved." Guitar isn't missed at all on that one and it's my fav Shirley recording...she really has room to stretch. Quote
