Description: Don Patterson Movin' Up Richie Cole Muse MR 5121 1st Pressing (not on CD)Don Patterson started the Acid Jazz movement without knowing it. Medeski Martin Wood John Scofield and many others learned from his work Movin' Up! is an album by organist Don Patterson recorded in 1977 and released on the Muse label. This record is smoking hot. The personnel are all on point but the real draw here for me is the incredible synergy between Patterson on the B-3 and Cole on sax in tunes like Trenton Makes The World Takes and The World of Susie Wong. Most tunes on the record feature Patterson and Cole jamming on one another with Juris adding ambiance on the guitar, though Juris features more prominently on The Good Life and in several excellent solos elsewhere. Billy James plays some tight drums with a great groove throughout the record. All in all another top deck release for Muse; if you are a fan of jazz-funk and soul-jazz, this is one to get. MOVIN' UP is one of the last albums Don Patterson recorded, and it's one of his best, with inspired playing on standouts such as "Room 608", "Trenton Makes The World Takes", "The World of Susie Wong" and "The Good Life". Solid support from the band on hand as well, there are some very tight grooves on this slab of wax. Don Patterson In the early 1960s, he began playing regularly with Sonny Stitt, and he began releasing material as a leader on Prestige Recordsfrom 1964 (with Pat Martino and Billy James as sidemen). His most commercially successful album was 1964's Holiday Soul, which reached #85 on the Billboard 200 in 1967.Richie Cole (February 29, 1948 – May 2, 2020) was an American jazz saxophonist, composer, and arranger.In 1969, he joined drummer Buddy Rich's Big Band.

Juris was born in Jersey City, New Jersey, but he moved with his family to Parsippany early in his life. In 1963, at the age of 10, he began learning guitar. At 11, he studied guitar at the home of his teacher, Ed Berg, and got interested in jazz listening to Berg's records of guitarists Django Reinhardt, Jim Hall, Barney Kessel, Jimmy Raney, and Johnny Smith. In his teens he played the rock music of the 1960s. When he was 19, he met blind saxophonist Eric Kloss and they became friends. He made his first recording on Kloss's album Bodies' Warmth (Muse, 1975). Around the same time, he met guitarist Pat Martino, who became a friend and mentor.Juris recorded with Richie Cole during 1976–78 and released his debut album as a leader, Roadsong, in 1979. In the early 1980s, he turned to acoustic guitar in duos with Larry Coryell and Biréli Lagrène, and in the late 1980s he worked with Gary Peacock's band.
