John Patton Tribute on MySpace

[Stevie Mclean]

I know this is a shot in the dark but if anyone has saved any of the information from this MySpace page and is willing to share it here I would be eternally grateful.

Did you want access to the thesis? - I remember putting that here for wider reading:  https://andybleaden.blogspot.com/2007/07/thesis-on-john-patton-by-javier.html

 

I also put it onto a pdf - not sure now why - probably so I could print it back then:

 

John Patton Thesis by Javier Gonzales

Edited September 15 by andybleaden

Which was a big public service, I've consulted that thesis quite a bit over the years ... Btw, I hope you've all checked out that tape from the digitized Phil Schaap collection with Patton, Bill Saxton (ts, the leader), Charles Sullivan(tp) and Eddie Gladden(dr)

Do tell more?

 

Is this one of the "live" tapes we had access to or something new?

I knew this was a keeper 

But none of my work = Javier Gonzales - wonder if this sprung up the sorts of leads thesis can ie "well did you ever speak to ...."

 

Hope so 

 

For Javier's sake

 

Such a rich piece of work - turning what we say here as "well I heard" into cited quotes etc

for months Dan Gould has kept us all updated about recent developments regarding the Phil Schaap archive, wondering why almost nobody reacted even though there's stuff in there that would have caused quite a stir in the glory days of this board... so, I was mostly commenting on stuff that happens elsewhere on this board - while at the same time pointing out a pretty cool live recording to Patton fans...  here's the link, I doubt that many people had access to it until very recently...

Wow - that is a very nice find.

>>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.

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

I'm not sure when this happened, but Patton's Soul Connection hit Bandcamp.

I guess it was still vinyl only, which is sold out, but the DL is still available, which is close enough for my purposes.

I have Soul Connection on CD with a different cover, this version…

At least I’m pretty sure I still have it — will have to look for it.  Good album, also with Grachan Moncur (a good part of the reason I got it).

It's a damn good record.
