Big John Patton was born July 12, 1935 in Kansas City, Missouri. A
self-taught musician, he started playing the piano in 1948 and landed
his first big gig touring with R&B sensation Lloyd Price from
1954-1959.
Upon his arrival in New York, around 1960, Patton began making the transition from piano to organ. Throughout the 1960's he recorded extensively for Blue Note Records as a leader and sideman, most notably with Grant Green and Lou Donaldson.
His music evolved to incorporate elements of modal and free jazz, without ever losing the basic, earthy groove that he brought to it from the beginning.
He wrote some organ jazz classics such as “Funky Mama” and “The Yodel.” His music will be remembered fondly by musicians and fans. During the late 60's Patton recorded some very adventurous music for the Blue Note label with artists such as Harold Alexander and George Coleman on lps such as Understanding and Accent on the Blues. Of particular note on the early sessions recorded for Blue Note both under his own name and also with George Braith, Don Wilkerson and Lou Donaldson was the superlative empathy he developed with guitarist Grant Green and drummer Ben Dixon - an organ trio whose work in the soul jazz genre remains unsurpassed to this day.
Since the resurgence in interest in music from this period Blue Note has unearthed many sessions that were buried in the vaults. LPs such as Blue John which was actually penciled for release, but never was, and two fantastic (and forward looking) albums Boogaloo and Memphis New York Spirit saw the light of day and showed the world more of this exceptional artist's work.

Biografía del artista
Big John Patton nació el 12 de julio de 1935 en Kansas City, Missouri. Músico autodidacta, comenzó a tocar el piano en 1948 y consiguió su primer gran concierto de gira con la sensación del R&B Lloyd Price entre 1954 y 1959.
A su llegada a Nueva York, alrededor de 1960, Patton comenzó a hacer la transición del piano al órgano. A lo largo de los años 60 grabó extensamente para Blue Note Records como líder y sideman, sobre todo con Grant Green y Lou Donaldson.
Su música evolucionó para incorporar elementos del jazz modal y libre, sin perder nunca el groove básico y terrenal que le aportó desde el principio.
Escribió algunos clásicos del jazz de órgano como "Funky Mama" y "The Yodel". Su música será recordada con cariño por músicos y aficionados. A finales de los 60's Patton grabó música muy aventurera para el sello Blue Note con artistas como Harold Alexander y George Coleman en lps como Understanding y Accent on the Blues. De particular importancia en las primeras sesiones grabadas para Blue Note tanto bajo su propio nombre como con George Braith, Don Wilkerson y Lou Donaldson fue la superlativa empatía que desarrolló con el guitarrista Grant Green y el baterista Ben Dixon - un trío de órgano cuyo trabajo en el género de soul jazz sigue siendo insuperable hasta el día de hoy.
Desde el resurgimiento del interés por la música de este periodo, Blue Note ha desenterrado muchas de las sesiones que fueron enterradas en las bóvedas. LPs como Blue John, que en realidad fue escrito para su lanzamiento, pero nunca lo fue, y dos álbumes fantásticos (y con visión de futuro) Boogaloo y Memphis New York Spirit vieron la luz del día y mostraron al mundo más del trabajo de este artista excepcional.
