Don Patterson • Dem New York Dues

Review

Despite claims to the contrary, organist Don Patterson was very much of the Jimmy Smith school, a hard-driving player with fine improvising skills but lacking a distinctive sound of his own. This CD (which reissues two complete LPs) features Patterson in prime form in a quintet with trumpeter Blue Mitchell, Junior Cook on tenor, and guitarist Pat Martino, and with a separate group that features trumpeter Virgil Jones and both George Coleman and Houston Person on tenors. Although "Oh Happy Day" is a throwaway, Patterson's spirited renditions of the blues and standards make this a fairly definitive example of his talents.

Revisar

A pesar de las afirmaciones de lo contrario, el organista Don Patterson era muy de la escuela de Jimmy Smith, un jugador muy trabajador con una gran capacidad de improvisación pero sin un sonido distintivo propio. Este CD (que reedita dos LPs completos) presenta a Patterson en forma de quinteto con el trompetista Blue Mitchell, Junior Cook en el tenor y el guitarrista Pat Martino, y con un grupo separado que incluye al trompetista Virgil Jones y a George Coleman y Houston Person en los tenores. Aunque "Oh Happy Day" es un descarte, las animadas interpretaciones de Patterson del blues y los estándares hacen de este un ejemplo bastante definitivo de su talento.
