Insanely wonderful and pretty darn rare! This album by John Patton was cut during the 60s, but never issued until the 80s and even then, only briefly yet it's easily one of our favorite records ever by this legendary Hammond player, thanks to lots of weird twists and turns! Although the record's led by Patton, it's more in the mad style of George Braith who plays some wonderful sax on the session, in the manner of his excellent Laughing Soul album a Prestige Records session cut with Patton and Grant Green around the same time. The vibe is very different than some of Patton's other Blue Notes very rhythmically playful, and mixed with mad reed lines from Braith with superbly sharp guitar lines from Grant Green, top trumpet work from Tommy Turrentine, and this great sense of skittish rhythm from the always-amazing drummer Ben Dixon. Titles include "Hot Sauce", "Bermuda Clay House", "Nicety", and "Blue John". Includes the bonus tracks "Jean De Fleur", "Chunky Cheeks", "Kinda Slick" & "Untitled Patton Tune"https://www.dustygroove.com/item/700809
