Album Notes & Community Reviews

Anchored by his deep, heavily rhythmic Hammond B-3 organ grooves, 'Got a Good Thing Goin'' is a stellar example of Blue Note's mid-60s soul jazz output. Big John Patton collaborates with guitarist Grant Green and drummer Hugh Walker, emphasizing in-the-pocket vamps and greasy, blues-soaked improvisations over complex hard bop structures. It is an intensely swinging, thoroughly accessible Hammond organ classic.
