Herbie Hancock, My Point of View, 1963 on Blue Note
Hancock's sophomore album as a leader, recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in Englewood Cliffs NJ. Hancock joined by Donald Byrd (trumpet), Gracham Moncur III (trombone), Hank Mobley (tenor sax), Grant Green (guitar), Chuck Isreals (bass), and Anthony Williams (drums). Herbie Hancock is a master, and it is wonderful to find the early Blue Note albums - I now have the first five in good vinyl editions.

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.

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.

Horace Parlan - Up & Down
Pretty stellar combo with Parlan on piano, Booker Ervin on sax, Grant Green on guitar, George Tucker on bass and Al Harewood on drums.
Always a little amusing to have a van Gelder engineered piece with a piano-led group…where everything sounds great BUT that. Comes with the territory…
