“A brilliant version (and overall session, that for some reason #BlueNote shelved for around 15 years before finally releasing it), with Green’s perfect tone propelling the #song into the stratosphere.” #GrantGreen open.substack.com/pub/mrlee718... #music #MusicSky #guitar #GuitarSky #jazz #JazzSky

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.

Grant Green, Green is Beautiful, 1970 on Blue Note
Green joined here by Blue Mitchell (trumpet), Claude Bartee (tenor sax), Emmanuel Riggens (organ), Jimmy Lewis (bass), and Idris Muhammad (drums) plus Richard Lendrum (bongos) and Candido Camero (congas). Recorded in 1970 by Rudy Van Gelder in Englewood Cliffs, NJ. My copy—via Salem Flea Marketplace—is the 2023 Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series reissue, mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio and pressed at Optimal, which sounds (and looks) great.https://goatless.org/2026/05/16/grant-green-green-is-beautiful-1970-on-blue-note

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…

I found a cd recently of a Grant Green album called "Matador". Recorded in 1964 but apparently not released until 1979, it features McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones. I wouldn't have expected Grant Green to fit together with half of Coltrane's group, but it's really good:
