The Green album "Carryin On" is not bad, though I have not listened to it for more than 20 years. I think after I had seen the BN documentary film with some sound tracks I heard that Kenny Burrell "Midnight Blue" but didn´t know what it is, and thought it might be a Grant Green thing maybe from the late 60´s so I purchased "Carryin on" just thru an error. But nevertheless, I liked it well enough, even if it is not really my kind of stuff......, a bit too smooth, I like more radical playing....., same with Midnight Blue, I think all this was in a period where I tried to have some more easy stuff to spin if somebody came to visit.......

Hope has fascinated me from the first time I heard him play on Informal Jazz, which I now think of as his least interesting record . This solo outing is amazing really highlighting every aspect of his playing: he does some bop, a little stride, a hint of classical music here and there. A lovely 40 minute journey :) Elmo deserves a Mosaic!

I've been going to this record regularly in the last couple of months-owing to my failure to appreciate it earlier.
