Jazz

Hammond B-3 organist Big John Patton and guitarist Calvin Keys have never quite received the attention their skills deserve. But each is a master of hard-driving, soul-style jazz, with credits that include gigs with the likes of Grant Green, Lou Donaldson, Ray Charles and Jimmy Smith. Together, they can be expected to keep the blues alive.
