Tracks list

On the heels of Matador and Solid, two of his most advanced albums, Grant Green
decided to continue the more modal direction hed begun pursuing with the help of
members of Coltranes quartet. Accordingly, he hooked up with organist Larry
Young, who was just beginning to come into his own as the first Hammond B-3
player to incorporate Coltranes modal innovations into his own style. Talkin
About is the first of three albums the Green/Young team recorded together with
Coltrane drummer Elvin Jones, and its exceptional, one of the most underrated
items in Greens discography.

With just a basic organ trio lineup, the album works a fascinating middle ground
between the soul-jazz of Greens early days and the modal flavor of his most
recent work. Though Youngs style wasnt quite fully formed yet, hes no longer the
in-the-pocket Jimmy Smith disciple of his earliest sessions; his playing here is
far more adventurous than the typical soul-jazz date, both harmonically and
rhythmically. Jones and Young often play off one another to create an intricate,
percolating pulse thats miles ahead of the standard soul-jazz groove. The trios
interplay is best showcased on Youngs Coltrane tribute, Talkin About J.C., a
monster jam thats worth every one of its nearly 12 minutes, and the cheerful Im
an Old Cowhand, popularized as a jazz tune by Sonny Rollins. Meanwhile, Young
and Green positively shimmer together on the ballad numbers, People and You Dont
Know What Love Is. It all makes for a terrific album that ranks in Greens
uppermost echelon.
