Released in 1964, organist Don Patterson's "Holiday Soul" is a unique and enjoyable take on classic Christmas carols. Backed by guitarist Pat Martino and drummer Billy James, Patterson puts his own funky spin on these familiar songs, creating an album that's both festive and soulful.
Patterson's virtuosic organ playing is on full display throughout the album, as he effortlessly weaves through the melodies of these beloved carols. His improvisations are always inventive and tasteful, and he never loses sight of the melody, even when he's stretching out.
Martino's guitar playing is also a highlight of the album. He provides a tasteful and understated counterpoint to Patterson's organ, and his solos are always melodic and expressive.
James's drumming is solid and supportive, and he never gets in the way of the other two musicians. He provides a steady groove that keeps the music moving forward, and he also adds some subtle fills and accents that help to keep the listener engaged.
Overall, "Holiday Soul" is a delightful and unexpected Christmas album that's sure to put you in the holiday spirit. Patterson's organ playing is outstanding, and the trio's arrangements are both inventive and respectful of the original carols. It's a must-have for any fan of soul jazz or Christmas music.
