Grant Green / Matador 1979
This album was recorded in 1964 but was not released on the Blue Note label in Japan until 1979. It features pianist McCoy Tyner, drummer Elvin Jones, and bassist Bob Cranshaw and Green. Why it took so many years from recording to release, I don’t know. If you have any ideas, please let me know!
It is not surprising since McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones are performing, and when I first listened to this "My Favorite Things," I had the same impression as John Coltrane's version. However, after listening to it several times, I realized that his restrained performance gave this track a different feel, and I also came to love Grant Green's version. The sidemen well supported Grant Green, and this album is another of his masterpiece🎸💎
