John Patton - Understanding, Blue Note Records, 1968
As a continuation of Blue Note's "Rare Groove Series" comes John Patton's organ drenched masterpiece. This groovy album features the distinctive sax work of Harold Alexander and the beats of Mr. Hugh Walker. You can't listen to this album without tapping you toes or air drum to the almost - hypnotic rhythms these guys create.. Fans of Jimmy Smith will absolutely adore this album with Patton's organ work. "Chittlins Con Carne" by K Burrell and "Alfie's Theme" by Sonny Rollins are 2 featured tracks that just groove on. Sonically this album was brilliantly re-mastered sounding fresh and give me that "Live in your living room" vibe coming cleanly and warmly right out of your speakers.
