A lesser known organist mainly known for his excellent work with Sonny Stitt and Booker Ervin, Don Patterson shreds no less in a traditional organ trio with the even lesser known Gerry Byrd and Billy James on guitar and drums respectively. Despite the hallmarks of the mid-sixties (an ice cool cover of The Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction") this music is pretty much timeless, straight ahead and endlessly comfortable in its own skin. Proof positive that lofty experimental ambitions (looking at you, Larry Young) are not a prerequisite of fine, fine jazz.
