Don Patterson – Mellow Soul (1967)

Don Patterson – Mellow Soul (1967, Prestige Records)  Soul Jazz Album Review

Prestige records  1967‎– PRST 7510

notes:

Don Patterson’s Mellow Soul (1967, Prestige Records) is a soulful jazz 

organ album that perfectly blends groove, blues, and hard bop elegance. 

Recorded with an outstanding lineup featuring Cedar Walton and 

Billy Higgins, this session stands as one of Patterson’s most accessible

and melodic recordings. Mellow Soul captures the warm, swinging

side of soul jazz while maintaining the sophistication of classic modern jazz.
