Big John Patton, Let ‘Em Roll, 1966 on Blue Note

Patton joined by Otis Finch (drums), Grant Green (guitar), and Bobby Hutcherson (vibes), and recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in Englewood Cliffs, NJ. Fantastic Hammond B3 driven mid-sixties Blue Note jazz – can’t go wrong.

My copy—direct from Amazon, which often has deals on these—is the Blue Note Tone Poet series reissue from 2023, with lacquer cut by Kevin Grey and Joe Harley and pressing at RTI.

Lou Donaldson, The Natural Soul, 1963 on Blue Note

Another album from the excellent Story of Blue Note Records VMP Anthology, this came five years after Blues Walk, and features Grant Green, John Patton, Ben Dixon, and Tommy Turrentine (brother of Stanley).

Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in his Englewood Cliffs NJ studio and produced by Alfred Lion.

My copy is part of the 2024 reissue of the 2019 Vinyl Me Please Anthology.

Fan of the late Walter Becker? Becker once name-checked Grant Green as an influence. Green's Alive! album is all killer, no filler. Idris Muhammad puts on a drum clinic. This track was sampled by A Tribe Called Quest.

@BEK97 @vinylrecords Will be checking this one out. Seems like #GrantGreen flies under the radar. #WalterBecker namechecked him as a massive influence. That was enough for me. Green is a real one.

Rolling Stone names "top 250" guitarists of all time ~ oh my that's a lot of guitar wankage

#MollyTuttle at 222 nice treat (although will go higher)

Love laughs at a king
Kings don't mean a thing
On the street of dreams
Dreams broken in two can be made like new
On the street of dreams
Gold, sliver and gold
All you can hold is in the moonbeams
Poor, no one is poor
Long as love is sure
On the street of dreams
