Patterson's People ... LP 
Prestige, 1965. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A great groover from organist Don Patterson – cut in a trio format, with an open-ended style that lets the players kick back and play, in the sort of free and easy setting you'd hear in a hip small club. Patterson's organ is backed by his usual drummer Billy James, and 4 of the album's 5 ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

A great little record – one of Houston's most successful for Prestige!

Plenty of magic here from organist Sonny Phillips – who also plays a bit of Fender Rhodes on the album too!

Travelin' Light ... LP Prestige, 1964. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Kenny Burrell joins the trio of organist Shirley Scott for this sweet little album – a set that seems to burn a bit more than usual for Shirley, probably because of the cool-toned guitar lines from Kenny!

An overlooked gem from organ jazz giant Johnny Hammond Smith!
