Patton's fourth album for Blue Note.
Big John Patton with
Grant Green on guitar and
Harold Vick on tenor sax. With tunes like "Fat Judy" and "Good Juice," there is no worry about there being a groove. The addition of a trumpet (
Blue Mitchell) means you have a horn section, and this tends to be a little much now and again. Although a little on the light side, thanks to
Patton and
Green, the groove does go down. ~ Michael Erlewine
