Grant Green - It Ain’t Necessarily So (1962)

This tune swings as hard as it can swing.

It’s worth putting on the headphones to catch Art Blakey in the background whoopin’, hollerin’ and eggin’ the other players on, reminding you that these guys were live in the studio. Grant Green is on fire, and Sonny Clark stars in the last year of a tragically short life. Ripping.
