I've really been looking forward to this! An all Grant Green show that covers most of his solo career - with selections from 15 of his albums.

Sidemen like Larry Young, Herbie Hancock, Joe Henderson, Yusef Lateef, Art Blakey, Jack McDuff, Ike Quebec, Elvin Jones, Idris Muhammed and James Spaulding kept things interesting.
