Other John Patton discs ?

[Soul Stream]

I heard somewhere, but I don't know where, that Pharoah played with Patton. Can anyone confirm that?

They did play together in the mid 80's at a place called Sparky J's in Newark (it was once the famous organ room The Key Club). The trio was John Patton, Pharaoh Sanders and George Brown on drums.

Patton and Sanders were good friends in that they lived in the same building during this time and had a day to day relationship.

[AndrewHill]

Wow. Would've loved to hear one of those gigs.

An interesting question could be: who would've been a more out-leaning sax player for Patton: Alexander or Sanders?

John said Pharoah played pretty "inside" on those gigs....

Yeah! And Pharoah is one of THE great blues players when he's not out.

Was recently introduced to Big John Patton "Along came John" and love it. Any other Big John discs like this or other artist (minus Jimmy, Freddy Roch, Willette etc.) ? Cheers in advance

bought Along Came John as my first Patton record today just for you (and me). It's really time to come back now, i'd say, being afraid of Nessa is part of the game!

It's ironic but this Patton thread, unless I'm mistaken, has become the longest of 'em all! It starts with a pretty open theme and just wanders - a bit like the man himself !!!

i heard phaorah play inside once he opened up the set w/ giant steps, and it was like breakneck tempo and it sounded all weird

Thank's for starting this thread, I'm reconsidering my decision not to get the BJP Mosaic Select. I'd ruled it out because of complaints about the sound and because I thought I probably had enough Patton. So far what I have is..

Blue John

Let it roll

Along came..

Memphis..

Accent of the blues

Boogaloo

My favourite is Boogaloo. Does the select offer something different or more of the same? How bad really is the sound?

EVERYONE needs a cd/lp of got a good thing goin' by bjp

Bad sound? I don't hear that from the Select at all.... Considering what you have already the Select will really fill a lot of holes for you. The Way I Feel, Oh Baby, That Certain Feeling and Understanding. DUDE, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR. YOU'RE THE PERFECT CANDIDATE TO GET THE SELECT! You're really missing out on some GREAT music right now.

[Stefan Wood]

I'll second that. There's nothing wrong with the sound on the Select. Damn great music!

Try to contain yourself, SS.

"Oh Baby" is a killer! One of my fav. Patton albums.

[Jim Alfredson]

The Select sounds great. I have no idea why there are complaints about bad sound.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Nor I. But I'm happy with almost anything (except a screwed up tape). Easy to please is best.

as we have a similar discussion going on elsewhere at the moment... it seems that nobody had noticed that The Jamestrane had also asked for other artists besides Patton that he might enjoy - that you really can't answer that easily with just the search function...

You're right.

JamesTrane hasn't been around since 21 April.

Not my fault on this occasion, but, "guilty, m'lud".

May I suggest Kirk's Works w/ Jack McDuff?

I would say definately Lou Donaldson's "The Natural Soul." You also might dig Patton's "The Way I Feel" and "Oh Baby"...both available on the Mosaic Select.

Another Patton album I really like is Memphis to New York Spirit with James "Blood" Ulmer on guitar. This also has some tasty George Coleman, particularly on McCoy Tyner's "Man from Tanganyika."

Those Big John 'Rare Grooves' reissues (or in the case of this one, new issues) were great !
