The trio of guitaristGrant Green, organistLarry Young, and drummerElvin Joneshad a unique alchemy from the first time they got together on Greens 1964 albumTalkin About. A couple months later the trio reconvened as a quartet with vibraphonistBobby Hutchersonto recordStreet of Dreams. For 1965sI Want To Hold Your Handthey subtly changed their palette again by adding tenor saxophonistHank Mobleyinto the mix. The result was another simmering set imbued with sophisticated soul. The quartet elevates a collection of well-known songs with their easy-going elegance from a surprisingly successful bossa reinvention of the title track by The Beatles to the bona fide bossa nova classic Corcovado by Antonio Carlos Jobim. The set also includes unforgettable renditions of standards including Kurt Weills Speak Low, Victor Youngs Stella By Starlight, and Cole Porters At Long Last Love.I Want To Hold Your Handcapped off an extraordinarily prolific 5-year run for Green that saw him record more than 20 hard bop and soul jazz sessions for Blue Note. When the guitarist returned to the label in 1969 his style had evolved into the jazz-funk that would characterize his late career.
