Liner Note Author: Chris Albertson. Recording information: Englewood Cliffs, NJ (06/05/1968/06/02/1969); Town Sound, Englewood Cliffs, NJ (06/05/1968/06/02/1969). Photographer: Don Schlitten. Despite claims to the contrary, organist Don Patterson was very much of the Jimmy Smith school, a hard-driving player with fine improvising skills but lacking a distinctive sound of his own. This CD (which reissues two complete LPs) features Patterson in prime form in a quintet with trumpeter Blue Mitchell, Junior Cook on tenor, and guitarist Pat Martino, and with a separate group that features trumpeter Virgil Jones and both George Coleman and Houston Person on tenors. Although "Oh Happy Day" is a throwaway, Patterson's spirited renditions of the blues and standards make this a fairly definitive example of his talents. ~ Scott Yanow
