4 STARS DOWN BEAT MAGAZINE   -   4 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE

This release presents Grant Green’s complete LP Green Street (Blue Note BST84071), a wonderful trio set which constituted the guitarist’s third studio date as a leader. He is showcased here backed by Ben Tucker on bass, and Dave Bailey on drums. In addition to the original album and the only two existing alternate takes from the session, it’s been added the three tracks featuring Green’s longest solos from a session recorded a few days earlier on which the same three musicians are joined by saxophonist Frank Haynes and pianist Billy Gardner. Green would never record again with the amazing rhythm section of Tucker and Bailey.
