John Patton • Along Came John

Review:
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

By the time John Patton recorded Along Came John, his debut as a leader, he had already become a familiar name around the Blue Note studios. He, guitarist Grant Green, and drummer Ben Dixon had become the label's regular soul-jazz rhythm section, playing on sessions by Lou Donaldson, Don Wilkerson, and Harold Vick, among others. They had developed an intuitive, empathetic interplay that elevated many of their sessions to near-greatness, at least in the realm of soul-jazz. That's one of the reasons why Along Came John is so successful -- the three know each other so well that their grooves are totally natural, which makes them quite appealing. These original compositions may not all be memorable, but the band's interaction, improvisation, and solos are. Tenor saxophonists Fred Jackson and Harold Vick provide good support, as well, but the show belongs to Patton, Green, and Dixon, who once again prove they are one of the finest soul-jazz combos of their era.

Reseña:
por Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Por el equipo John Patton grabado Canto John, su debut en la líder, he he hecho ya un familiar name alrededor de los Blue Note studios. , Que se estrenará en el mes de mayo de este año, en la que participará en el Festival Internacional de Cine de Cannes. Han sido desarrollados un intuitivo, empathetic interplay que elevó muchos de sus sesiones a cerca de la grandeza, al menos en el reino del soul-jazz. Que es una de las razones por las que el Came Juan es tan exitoso - los tres saben cada uno de ellos tan bien que sus grooves son totalmente naturales, que las marcas ellos quita la aparición. Estos originales composiciones no pueden ser memorables, pero la banda de interacción, improvisación, y los suelos. , Que se ha convertido en una de las mejores películas de la saga de la saga Crepúsculo.
