Don Patterson • Satisfaction



Biograph:
Inspired to switch from piano to organ by Jimmy Smith, Don Patterson was one of the Hammond B-3's most bop-rooted players, able to play bluesy soul-jazz grooves or break out of the pocket for some nimble, sharply defined solo lines. Though he led numerous recording dates for Prestige and later Muse, he was best-known as Sonny Stitt's favorite organist, proving eminently compatible with the Parker-influenced saxophonist. Patterson was born in Columbus, OH, on July 22, 1936, and began studying piano as a child. His first major influence was Erroll Garner, and some of that flavor remained in his playing even after he heard Jimmy Smith in 1956 and changed instruments. Patterson made his professional debut on the organ in 1959, and played with a number of groups before Stitt discovered him. The association helped make Patterson's name, and he began recording for Prestige in 1964, often with a trio featuring guitarist Pat Martino and drummer Billy James. Patterson also played with numerous other soul-jazz sax greats over the course of the '60s, before settling in Gary, IN, toward the end of the decade. Drug addiction curtailed his recording activities somewhat, as only a few sporadic sessions for Muse appeared during the '70s. He did revive his career somewhat after moving to Philadelphia, but his health worsened, forcing him to take dialysis frequently; he died on February 10, 1988.

Biografía:
Inspirado por Jimmy Smith para pasar del piano al órgano, Don Patterson fue uno de los intérpretes más arraigados del Hammond B-3, capaz de tocar ritmos de soul-jazz o de salir del bolsillo para obtener líneas solistas ágiles y bien definidas. Aunque dirigió numerosas grabaciones para Prestige y más tarde para Muse, era más conocido como el organista favorito de Sonny Stitt, demostrando ser eminentemente compatible con el saxofonista influenciado por Parker. Patterson nació en Columbus, OH, el 22 de julio de 1936, y comenzó a estudiar piano de niño. Su primera gran influencia fue Erroll Garner, y parte de ese sabor permaneció en su forma de tocar incluso después de escuchar a Jimmy Smith en 1956 y cambiar de instrumento. Patterson debutó profesionalmente en el órgano en 1959, y tocó con varios grupos antes de que Stitt lo descubriera. La asociación ayudó a hacer el nombre de Patterson, y comenzó a grabar para Prestige en 1964, a menudo con un trío que incluía al guitarrista Pat Martino y al baterista Billy James. Patterson también tocó con muchos otros grandes del saxo soul-jazz durante los años 60, antes de establecerse en Gary, IN, hacia el final de la década. La adicción a las drogas redujo un poco sus actividades de grabación, ya que sólo unas pocas sesiones esporádicas de Muse aparecieron durante los 70. Revivió un poco su carrera después de mudarse a Filadelfia, pero su salud empeoró, forzándolo a tomar diálisis frecuentemente; murió el 10 de febrero de 1988.
