Horace Parlan – The Other Part of Town (Blue Note Records, 1961)

October 2, 2009 · 1 Comment

Horace Parlan – Piano
Booker Ervin – Tenor Sax
Grant Green – Guitar
George Tucker – Bass
Al Harewood – Drums

The Us3 Trio of Parlan, Tucker, Harewood were the house band at Minton’s for jam sessions at the time of this release and were often accompanied by Ervin and Green for extended workouts of theme. I believe Up’n'Down is their only quintet recording together however and this track is mainly a feature for Grant Green.
