Late Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Here's a Don Patterson challenge: Selecting just from his Prestige-led sessions, how would you order a playlist to fit on one compact disc? I'm in the midst of the challenge myself, aiming for a focus on mid-tempo grooves instead of burners. So far, I have: 1. Music To Think By (Mellow Soul) 2. There Will Never Be Another You (from the Soul Happening! session) 3. Wade In the Water (Soul Happening!) 4. Head (Mellow Soul) 5. Funk In 3/4 (Funk You!) 6. Donny Brook (Donny Brook) 7. Brothers-4 (Brothers-4) 8. Goin' To Meetin' (Satisfaction) 9. 10. 11. 12. Suggestions welcome for how to complete the playlist! I didn't let myself use Sonny Stitt-led sessions; otherwise I would have included "Soul People." And of course list your favorite Prestige Patterson records here! (Nothing wrong with the Muse dates of course.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Never tried this. I don't think I'd choose more than a handful of your selections though. Will give my mind to it after I've taken the dog out for his walk in the rain and hope he has a crap quickly and don't drag me down to the bottom field MG PS Just had a quick look at them all. HELLISHLY difficult! I did this a few years ago with Jimmy Smith and made a nice CD I still enjoy hearing occasionally called 'Easy greasy grooves'. 1 Plum Nellie 2 All day long 3 Hollerin' and screamin' 4 Since I fell for you (alt) 5 I'm just a lucky so and so 6 Midnight special 7 Back at the Chicken Shack 8 I've found a new baby 9 Hotel happiness 10 Bucket 11 When my dreamboat comes home It's nice, though I say so myself.

Larry Kart Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I once saw Patterson simulate cunnilingus on the organ (i.e. play the Hammond B-3 organ with his tongue as though the keyboard were ... you got it -- this replete with appropriate gestures and perhaps sounds too -- that I don't recall). Was this, I wonder, a normal part of his routine, or did I catch him when he was inspired? BTW, it was at a private party. P.S. Rest of the band was Von Freeman, guitarist Sam Thomas, and Wilbur Campbell. It was a party for a middle-aged couple who were celebrating a wedding anniversary.

Late Posted March 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I didn't add any tunes from Boppin' & Burnin' ... because I don't have that album. (Ashamed emoji.) This must be corrected! And, d'oh! — "Walkin'" for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Hell! I've hit a wrong key somehow and the board has gone small; I can only just read the print. There are two inch and a half wide grey stripes on either side and the left one has a little arrow saying, when you hover on it, "block manager". How the FUCK do I get out of THIS?????

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Well, having listened to my selection, It doesn't feel greasy enough. Nice tempo. I added in at the end: Hip trip (Oh happy day) Sentimental journey (Patterson's people) I had them in on my first pass but cut them because, between them, they're almost 25 minutes. For really greasy Don Patterson, you have to go to the Muse period and have 'The world of Suzie Wong', "Why not', "These are soulful days' and Muse blues' - plus, of course, 'Hip cakewalk'.

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Panic's over chaps. I'd hit a zoom button up the top somewhere. I can't see a zoom button now, but when I saw it and set it to 100% just now, i got a normal print. But I've still got this little arrow on the left pointing to a block manager. Is this part of the normal Organissimo screen? I've never seen it before. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late Posted April 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Never out on compact disc??? What the heck!!! To this, all I can say is BOWL OF YORK. (Even the Stones cover is good!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) That's "Bowl Full of Yok" .... Yok being the designation for some type of soul food, IIRC. Edited April 20, 2018 by mikeweil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I would take it to mean "bowl full of nothing"? http://www.dictionary.com/browse/yok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I stand corrected - thanks for clearing that up. My search in soul food cookbooks did not yield anything. In older Turkish, "yok" literally means "nothing", btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a CD on 32Jazz 32092, "Steady Comin' At Ya", that was a complete reissue of that Muse LP with three bonus tracks from his next two Muse LPs. Can't find it on discogs; used copies on amazon are expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
