I had this version on Grant Green's album titled First Recordings. I told my friend that the way that the tenor sax player has the control, that this must really be his album. The record company just repackaged as Grant Green's. This is an alive version of this tune. This is my favorite version, just slightly above Monk's version with Oscar Pettiford and Kenny Clark, then the Money Jungle version.

Nice date! Sounds like they were having fun. Cute little quotes (Mad about the boy and Sweet Georgia Brown) from Mabern and I just love Elvin's brushes.
Many thanks!!
