Recorded on a bitter December night in 1965 at the legendary Van Gelder Studios, Let 'Em Roll captures Big John Patton at the height of his powers, surrounded by an extraordinary lineup featuring guitarist Grant Green, vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, and drummer Otis Finch. The result is a deeply soulful jazz organ record that moves effortlessly between blues-soaked grooves, Latin-tinged rhythms, and swinging soul, earning its reputation as one of the finest jazz organ albums ever committed to tape.
This Blue Note Tone Poet Series edition brings Let 'Em Roll back to life with a meticulous reissue produced by Joe Harley and mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes, all housed in a deluxe gatefold tip-on jacket. From the rolling, bluesy swagger of the title track to the standout Latin pulse of "Latona" and a commanding take on Hank Mobley's "The Turnaround," this album showcases the kind of effortless interplay between world-class musicians that makes it a must-have for any serious jazz collection.
