Yes, welcome to the music business! Sad to think John had another offer from a major label but BN wouldn't release him. It really put John's career on hold. He even became a music teacher at a NYC public school specializing in troubled children for a while. Something Thelma told me he really hated. BJP paid dues.

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 what other label are you referring to? would of it been more of a funk/commerical record the likes of which blue note got into w/ blackbyrd, etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Must be either Atlantic, CTI or Impulse. Or ECM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 This may be a good time to come up with 'would be' album covers if Big John would've signed with ECM Since it's come up again, I think I should just note that the Grant Green Appreciation Society of Wales is ever so aggrieved at the obvious failure to mention the guitarist on the session.

couw Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Grant used his Muslim name on this session. whereas everyone would expect Yusuf, Muhammad or Osama, in this case it's Sammich. I'm rather dissappointed the GGASW did not notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybleaden Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 what other label are you referring to? would of it been more of a funk/commerical record the likes of which blue note got into w/ blackbyrd, etc.... I personally know for sure he had a strings LP lined up and then there was the voices project with Andrew Hill but Manfred Eicher could not get him to break his contract with Blue Note to work for his new label so he signed Keith Jarrett instead who had played a little organ before with Miles but he went down another path Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh1958 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 You focused me on the fact that I was missing three of John Patton's leader dates. Thanks to the Jazz Record Center, Accent on the Blues and Minor Move are no longer on that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to the Jazz Record Center, Accent on the Blues and Minor Move are no longer on that list. Glad to get you on Accent on the Blues. THAT is a killer...sit back and let that one sink in for a loooong time. That's a session that, to my ears, just never gets old. Also you mention Minor Move...do you mean Minor Swing on the DIW label? What's the other Patton session you're missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggie87 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) I have all his leader dates except for Soul Connection, which still isn't on CD (to my knowledge). Would love to get that one. Edited May 31, 2007 by Aggie87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to get that one. The Nilva catalogue is still owned by Alvin Queen and I understand he has no plans to reisuue any on CD (though some Junior Mance did come out in Japan).

I found a copy for $5 at Half Price Books, and funny enough they had Move Your Hand, by Dr Lonnie for $7, which is still in-print. Don't understand the logic at that store, but I'm not going to bring it to their attention. Edited June 1, 2007 by Holy Ghost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
