This release presents the complete Grant Green (1935-1979) LP "Gooden’s Corner" (Blue Note GXF-3058), which showcases the superb guitarist in a quartet format backed by the great Sonny Clark, Sam Jones, and Louis Hayes. All of the album’s songs were recorded on December 23, 1961. While the six trio tracks originally appeared on the LP (which was released many years after it was recorded, as explained in the original liner notes), the seventh tune taped on that date, which included tenor saxophonist Ike Quebec as a guest star, was issued on Quebec’s album Blue and Sentimental.
