BIG John Patton Is Da Shit

[DrJ]

Thanks for all the great info, Jim!

The combo approach (mic'ing of the Leslie plus a direct feed) doesn't surprise me and can be a very effective approach to recording in general (often works real well for creating a good guitar sound, with a nice crisp attack and transparency but also depth and room presence). Just would have been very surprised to hear that it was all "direct to the board," I would expect a rather different sound to result as you indicate.

2 things

how come no patton rvgs?

how about that certain feeling as a conn in the next batch?

[davef]

SS - I doubt that That Certain Feelin would be released as a Conn, both with the Select coming out and IMO the music is too straight-ahead by the standards of most Conns... I'm really glad to have the album, though, finally... due to the Select.

Let 'Em Roll would be a great RVG IMO.

And, to paraphrase a couple of our members... HELL YEAH BIG JOHN PATTON IS INDEED THA SHIT!

[Jim Alfredson]

I need to get the Select. Man, I thought my CD buying days were over but I must get those new Criss Cross releases with Sam Yahel on them and Moon Rappin (still haven't even heard that one yet) and Mother Ship and the Patton Select and the Red Holloway discs and....

i'll ask this again

i was able to score memphis to ny spirit and i like it alot.

[Bright Moments]

just picked up patton's "blue planet man" used for $5.99! B)

[Rooster_Ties]

and Mother Ship and...

B3 - if you don't have "Mother Ship" yet, make getting that a #1 priority. Seriously. You need to hear this one, more than you could ever possibly know. Put it on your next on-line order, or bite the bullet at Borders (ouch!).

Or maybe you have this on vinyl, or a burn or something. But if you've never ever heard "Mother Ship" before - git to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CJ Shearn]

I picked up "Let Em Roll" and "Got A Good Thing Goin" tonight, listening to "Let Em Roll" a second time. I really enjoy "Got a Good Thing Goin", I like the three other mid-late 60's Patton dates I've heard, which include that and "That Certain Feeling" and "Understanding". Damn, does "Latona" have a groove though, ouch!. Love the latin thing Grant is playing.

[Soulstation1]

anyone have any favorite songs from the select set?

I have Mothership on the Larry Mosaic. Nice date... I've been listening to it for a few weeks now.

SPACEY!

I asked for the Patton Mosaic for Christmas!

[Soulstation1]

jan 24, 1963 donaldson's "good gracious" was recorded

give it a spin this weekend

ss1

also i've been listening to shoutin' by don wilkerson.

somehow i've overlooked this session.

[Big Al]

somehow i've overlooked this session.

Lotsa people overlook this session! Yet it's my favorite of DW's sessions. A very underrated slab o' greeeaze! Pity they didn't record together more, like they did with Papa Lou!

[Soulstation1]

i see that the new jrvg and older conn. are both 24-bit remastered versions.

probably would sound the same??

ss1

[Soulstation1]

i really like "congo chant" from blue planet man.

there are about four good songs on the disc.

viva john patton

[Soulstation1]

can anyone confirm that patton does play on jimmy smith's "rockin' the boat"

does he play the tambourines(sp)?

thanks

ss1

[Brad]

Why would you think he's on that. AMG doesn't list him and I don't remember him being on there. I don't the answer but is a double organist set up common?

[Soulstation1]

he doesn't play the b3 on these sessions

check this link about 1/2 way down

Rockin' The Boat

when i was working on my patton complete bn stuff, i stumbled on to smith's rockin' the boat

Edited February 3, 2004 by Soulstation1

[Brad]

I see what you mean. I'd have to check tonight. I know AMG is fallible. Still, I wonder why he's not listed.

[Brad]

I checked the TOCJ I have of this date and Patton is not listed. I didn't listen to it so I'm not sure why he's not listed.

[Soulstation1]

brad

thanks for the effort

maybe we'll have too wait until the new rvg reissue.

i have no clue, i just stumbled upon it..

i'd think this info would be in the bn discography

ss1

[Soulstation1]

is the beginning of "the rock" (the first 15 seconds) on the 07/28/2003 jrvg of the way i feel also muffled?

i'd consider picking it up if the version was ok.

thanks

[Soulstation1]

i hope "soul stream" returns soon, he is the man for the big john info.

[Brad]

Hey soul station, I just got an email from the Music Resource for the new RVGs and it says that Patton is on the tambourine. So they're right. Maybe he wasn't on the liner notes for contractual reasons.
