Free For All Posted August 28, 2003 Report Posted August 28, 2003 So his Zorn-aciousness is Zorn-tastic in this case, is that what you're saying Mr. Zorn-gry? His playing is Zorn-alicious? Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted August 28, 2003 Report Posted August 28, 2003 Oh, come on. Now you're just being Zorn-y. Quote
Free For All Posted August 28, 2003 Report Posted August 28, 2003 ..'cause I was afraid it'd be the Twilight Zorn........... OK, we have officially reached PREMISE OVERLOAD!!!!!!!!!! Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted August 28, 2003 Report Posted August 28, 2003 Oh, come on. Now you're just being Zorn-y. "zorny" as in horny or as in corny? Just listen to this record during zornification and it might help. Quote
Free For All Posted August 28, 2003 Report Posted August 28, 2003 Just listen to this record during zornification and it might help. ..and maybe a little hot zornography to get you real zorny. Oops! I said I'd stop and I didn't! Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted August 28, 2003 Report Posted August 28, 2003 (edited) I always thought it was "zorn-ication" and if you were just thinkin' about it it was "zorn-if-ication"? The DIW 'Minor Swing' is outztanding. Zorn is not the, how did one poster back on the BNBB when describing him on 'Blue Planet Man' put it (?)..., "groove killer". The real stand-out here is Ed Cherry. He's playing some killer stuff. But the tip o' the leslie must go to Jim Anderson, it's one of the finest sounding organ albums ever. And, Harvey Pekar does the liners. Highest recommendations. And if you can still find the mini-lp gatefold you get some choice Wolffs as well!! Edited August 28, 2003 by Man with the Golden Arm Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted August 28, 2003 Report Posted August 28, 2003 Yes, it is indeed zornication. I thought the extra syllable made it look better, but it is inaccurate. Perhaps I wll be ex-zornerated after I listen to "Boogaloo" about a dozen times in the next few days? Quote
Soul Stream Posted August 28, 2003 Author Report Posted August 28, 2003 Dudes, you guys are funkin' up JP Corner with the zornisms. I'm here on behalf of John Patton to tell you to take it outside. Quote
Free For All Posted August 28, 2003 Report Posted August 28, 2003 OK.......but Sangrey started it! Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted August 28, 2003 Report Posted August 28, 2003 ..and what is that cornball thing Zorn scribes in the "Boogaloo" liners? something about "Patton-ted..."??? Quote
Soul Stream Posted September 8, 2003 Author Report Posted September 8, 2003 Was listening to "Natural Soul" tonight. Still maybe my all-time favorite organ record. The RVG really makes a big difference over the TOCJ as far as definition and low-end clarity. But honestly, I lived and breathed with an old scratchy vinyl copy of this for a long time and didn't seem to mind! John really made this one cook. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 Was listening to "Natural Soul" tonight. Still maybe my all-time favorite organ record. Dude, you said that about Baby Face Willette's Stop & Listen a month ago! You're off your rocker!!! Quote

Dude, you said that about Baby Face Willette's Stop & Listen a month ago! You're off your rocker!!! You caught me!!! I wonder what will be my all-time favorite organ record next week? Oh well, enthusiasm isn't always the right backdrop for truth. ...(and by the way B3-er, it was "Face to Face!") B) Edited September 8, 2003 by Soul Stream Quote
JSngry Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 I wonder what will be my all-time favorite organ record next week? Perhaps something a little more, uh, "unexpected"? Like this" Perhaps not... Quote
Soulstation1 Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 i wish that mosaic would just make a complete bn of big john patton, especially on wax, instead of the new select. give big john his props! Quote
Soul Stream Posted September 8, 2003 Author Report Posted September 8, 2003 i wish that mosaic would just make a complete bn of big john patton, especially on wax, instead of the new select. give big john his props! Hey, Big John is so unappreciated, I'll take anything I can get!!!! Anyway, I'm with you, a FULL Big John Mosaic would have been nice w/alternate takes and extra cuts. Those are the things I'm gonna miss most. The music we'll probably never get to hear...the unreleased stuff. But enough of that. I salute Mosaic and Cuscuna for appreciating Patton in a Select! Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted September 8, 2003 Report Posted September 8, 2003 Fuck that, they need to do it the right way. Full box set. Big John was bad, he deserves one. Quote

Soul Stream Posted May 18, 2005 Author Report Posted May 18, 2005 Just wanted to pull this one up for some air. Was listening to John's "Boogaloo" album this morning. John's playing so clean and beautifully. Still my favorite organist hands down. His concept was so personal and unique, it's almost impossible to cop in any authentic way. He's definately one of those guys who just played his personality. What you hear on wax is the way John was. Spiritual, Funny, Determined, Humble, Overwhelming...all those things and then some. He's the only legendary organist who continued to expand his concept with every recording. From "Along Came John" to "One For J.A." is quite a long journey, yet he remained true to himself all the way. He was definatley the epitome of an "artist." Quote
Soul Stream Posted November 20, 2005 Author Report Posted November 20, 2005 Just wanted to bump John up and remind everyone to put on some Big John if at all possible. It's always good for the soul. One I've been listening to tonight that has a lot of nice later compositions by John is "This One's For J.A." on the DIW label recorded in the 90's. Great band and a great album that doesn't get as much attention as it should. Also covers Trane, Archie Shepp, Wayne Shorter and Grachan Moncur III...don't know any other jazz organist that's compositions could fit seemlessly with those other writers. Great album. Quote
kh1958 Posted November 20, 2005 Report Posted November 20, 2005 I have that one, and also the Evidence recording, Blue Planet Man. Are these the only two post-Blue Note sesssions he recorded as a leader? Just wanted to bump John up and remind everyone to put on some Big John if at all possible. It's always good for the soul.

Soul Stream Posted November 20, 2005 Author Report Posted November 20, 2005 No, he did a GREAT session with Alvin Queen, Melvin Sparks, Grachan Moncur and Grant Reed (tenor) on the Nilva Label in the 80's. Lp only. Quote
