It was Elvis Presley’s corrupt dollar-grabbing manager Colonel Tom Parker who reasoned that why sell something once when it was possible to resell it at least three times over… and hopefully to the same customers! There’s nothing at all shabby about Grant Green but the way his Blue Note legacy is now being indiscriminately recycled is cause for concern. There are just so many times one can re-review these records and come up with something fresh to say! The 1961 Summer Sessions is a rather lame selling point. What can we expect next, sessions convened on a Wednesday?
