Tim McG Posted June 9, 2013 Report Posted June 9, 2013 Looking forward to the CD release, Jim. All the best.
Dan Gould Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 Hey Jim, you should figure out a way to incorporate that snippet of Soul Woman into the final recording and track it numero uno. What a great way to kick off the record, you alone on Big John's instrument then the band coming in. Or at least edit the performance that way for the DVD. Really looking forward to this ...
Jim Alfredson Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Posted June 25, 2013 That's not a bad idea. It would be cool to track it for real on that organ. Maybe a good excuse to take the wife to Austin, TX this fall.
Soul Stream Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Come on down y'all!...I'll leave the B3 turned on til ya get here
bertrand Posted July 21, 2013 Report Posted July 21, 2013 Any new updates? I know you've been on the road in such dreadful places as Italy and Spain. The life of a musician is rough Bertrand.
Jim Alfredson Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Posted August 25, 2013 Day three of tracking the project. It's going really well. Friday was the trio plus vibes. Yesterday was just the trio. Today will be the trio with trumpet and tenor. I'm looking forward to mixing this and editing the video.
Jim Alfredson Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Posted September 13, 2013 A little taste. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWgNOyJFL0Q
Dan Gould Posted September 13, 2013 Report Posted September 13, 2013 I'm lovin' everybody but the drummer is really knocking me out.
Deepak Posted September 13, 2013 Report Posted September 13, 2013 You guys look like you were having a good time I missed the Kickstarter, but I'm in for the video and CD version.
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted September 18, 2013 Report Posted September 18, 2013 way to salute bjp! i just watched the music video- not only a great jazz musican, but a great man. has any more info ever been unearthed about his time arranging for the jackson 5?
Jim Alfredson Posted September 19, 2013 Author Report Posted September 19, 2013 http://youtu.be/Xc-1cZWHUqk Another little taste.
Chuck Nessa Posted September 20, 2013 Report Posted September 20, 2013 I was in the studio today and Glenn said you recorded a hundred tunes for this project. If this isn't a big set, the tunes must be really short! Short Grooves indeed.
Jim Alfredson Posted September 20, 2013 Author Report Posted September 20, 2013 We recorded about 20 tracks over the three days. The CD has 9 tracks on it and it's 60 minutes worth of music.
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted September 24, 2013 Report Posted September 24, 2013 it must of been hard to choose a final tracklist, how did you go about that
Tim McG Posted September 24, 2013 Report Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) We recorded about 20 tracks over the three days. The CD has 9 tracks on it and it's 60 minutes worth of music. Does this mean a possible second Big John Patton tribute CD in the offing? If so, I'm in! Edited September 24, 2013 by GoodSpeak
Soulstation1 Posted September 24, 2013 Report Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) BIG James Oscar Alfredson Forget CDs do this on Wax!!!!!! CDs are so 1980s.... Edited September 24, 2013 by Soulstation1
Rooster_Ties Posted September 24, 2013 Report Posted September 24, 2013 So what's the complete sessionography look like? i.e., what are the names of all 20 tunes? Would love to get my head around what all was finally done for this project, both the 9 tunes on the CD -- but everything else too. And then piece together where the originals came from (what albums they represent). Haven't been following things as closely as some around here, but never the less, I'm really looking forward to hearing the results!!!

No title track?
Jim Alfredson Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Posted September 25, 2013 The title is no longer The Way I Feel. It's Jim Alfredson's Dirty Fingers - A Tribute To Big John Patton
jazzkrow Posted September 25, 2013 Report Posted September 25, 2013 "I'm thinking of substituting Early AM for either Along Came John or Spiffy Diffy" Love those horn tracks....
Soul Stream Posted September 30, 2013 Report Posted September 30, 2013 Fantastic Jim!, congrats on it all and what an accomplishment...that's a lot of songs and hard work (Patton songs ain't easy either folks!). Can't wait to get the CD!
bertrand Posted September 30, 2013 Report Posted September 30, 2013 What is 'My Valentine'? Bertrand.
Jim Alfredson Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Posted October 1, 2013 My Valentine is a ballad written by Paul McCartney. We gave it the ol' "Further Adventures of Jimmy & Wes" treatment. It doesn't really have much to do with Patton but it was such a great take, I had to put it on there. Plus it will probably get a lot of airplay, which is always good.
