HE WAS UNIVERSALLY ACKNOWLEDGED AS HAVING THE FIRST NEW STYLE ON ORGAN SINCE SMITH. ELVIN JONES WAS THE MAJOR DRUMMER OF THE ERA, AND GREEN WAS CAPABLE OF EXCELLING IN ANY SETTING. JUST LISTEN TO THE GUITARIST ON THE LEGENDARY "TALKING ABOUT J.C." AND THE JOYOUS VERSION OF "I'M AN OLD COWHAND". YOU'LL QUICKLY UNDERSTAND WHY "TAKIN' ABOUT" IS SUCH A SOUGHT AFTER GEM OF THE BLUE NOTE CATALOG."
