Lou Donaldson, The Natural Soul, 1963 on Blue Note
Another album from the excellent Story of Blue Note Records VMP Anthology, this came five years after Blues Walk, and features Grant Green, John Patton, Ben Dixon, and Tommy Turrentine (brother of Stanley).
Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in his Englewood Cliffs NJ studio and produced by Alfred Lion.
My copy is part of the 2024 reissue of the 2019 Vinyl Me Please Anthology.

Harold Vick, Steppin’ Out!, 1963 on Blue Note
Debut album from Harold Vick (as a leader), recorded Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, with a wonderful supporting cast: Blue Mitchell, Grant Green, John Patton, and Ben Dixon.
Vick would also go on to play with folks like King Curtis and Aretha Franklin, and passed in 1987. Great album of early 60s Blue Note jazz.
My copy—via Academy Records in NYC—is the Blue Note Tone Poet reissue from 2022.

Grant Green - Grant's First Stand
As indicated, Green's first release on Blue Note (1961), where he's joined by Baby Face Willette (organ) and Ben Dixon (drums).
Given the configuration, it's a soul jazz outing, and a good one.

Never remember hearing of Ben Dixon before either but I should know him because discogs has him listed on 2 other LPs:
Lou Donaldson: "Natural Soul" (1963) and
Baby Face Willette: "Face to Face" (1961). Grant Green is on those recordings too.
I've got the Donaldson but not the Baby Face LP.
He marks time well but doesn't do anything special. Will check out the Donaldson LP again to see how he plays there.
