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. Tracks: 01 - Talkin About J.C. 02 - People 03 - Luny Tune 04 - You Dont Know What Love Is 05 - Im An Old Cowhand Personnel: Grant Green - Guitar Larry Young - Organ Elvin Jones - Drums
