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.

Harold Vick, Steppin’ Out!, 1963 on Blue Note

Debut album from Harold Vick (as a leader), recorded Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, with a wonderful supporting cast: Blue Mitchell, Grant Green, John Patton, and Ben Dixon.

Vick would also go on to play with folks like King Curtis and Aretha Franklin, and passed in 1987. Great album of early 60s Blue Note jazz.

My copy—via Academy Records in NYC—is the Blue Note Tone Poet reissue from 2022.

Grant Green - Solid

Another in the "Blue Note Albums Recorded in the 60s but not released until years later" series, this 1964 session was recorded around the same time as Matador, but came out in 1979.

Anyway, it's really, um, solid, with an especially ripping take on Ezz-Thetic on S1 (but reall, it's all good).

Green's joined by James Spaulding (alto), Joe Henderson (tenor), McCoy Tyner (piano), Bob Crenshaw (bass), and Elvin Jones (drums).

Grant Green - Green Street

Grant Green is on so many LPs I’ve got, but I think I’ve only featured Club Mozambique, which was a relatively late recording.

So, back to near the start, April 1961, with a great bassist (Ben Tucker) and drummer (Dave Bailey), in RvG’s studio, laying down some great tracks.

He’s such a distinctive & great jazz artist…
