Bennie Green - It’s Groovy (1958)

Yes, it is.

This recording went unreleased until the Japanese cut a deal to release “the other side of the Blue Note 1500 series” in the early ’80s. Notwithstanding the LP’s apparent obscurity, it is a humdinger, especially when you consider the appearance of the in-form and ever-swinging Sonny Clark, and Bennie Green’s voice-like trombone stylings.
