2016 Stereo Reissue of Classic 1966 Blue Note Release of Bandleader/Composer/Organist Big John Patton Entitled Got a Good Thing Goin' on, Produced by Alfred Lion, Cover Photo & Design by Reid Miles, Recoding by Rudy Van Gelder at Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on April 29 in 1966 - "Grant Green always brought out the best in Big John Patton. Almost any record that featured the guitarist and organist was dominated by their scintillating interplay, and it always sounded like they were trying to top each other's blistering, funky solos. Patton and Green rarely sounded better than they did on Got a Good Thing Goin', a 1966 session that functioned as a showcase for the pair's dynamic interaction and exciting, invigorating solos. In particular, the duo's mastery is evident because there are no horns to stand in the way -- only drummer Hugh Walker and conga player Richard Landrum provide support, leaving plenty of room for Green and Patton to run wild. All five numbers -- two originals by Patton and Green, two pop covers ("Ain't That Peculiar," "Shake"), and Duke Pearson's "Amanda" -- are simple blues and soul-jazz songs that provide ample space for the guitarist and organist to stretch out. And they do stretch out -- as a pair, they have never sounded so fiery or intoxicating. Fans of hard bop may find the songs a little too simple, but hot, up-tempo soul-jazz rarely comes any better than it does on Got a Good Thing Goin'." - Spectacular Personnel for the Quartet Features Legendary Composer Big John Patton on Organ, the Great Grant Green on Guitar, the Talented Hugh Walker on Drums and the Amazing Richard Landrum on Conga! - Selections on Side 1 Are Original Big John Patton/Grant Green Compositions the Yodel at 8 Minutes 17 Seconds & Soul Woman - Tracks for Side 2 Consist of the Warren Moore/Smokey Robinson/Robert Rogers/Marvin Tarplin Standard Ain't that Peculiar, the Sam Cooke Penned the Shake at 7 Minutes 46 Seconds and the Duke Pearson Song Amanda - Used Copy, Cover Very Good++ with a Bent Upper Right Corner, Record Mint- - Stereo Recording, Product Code BST-84229 - California Residents Add 9.75% Sales Tax - International S & H Extra -
