Nigeria (LP, Album, RE). Blue Note. Blakey should have been on more Green dates. This quartet is killer. Check "It ain't necessarily so", easily one of the best versions ever recorded. Reply Notify me 4 Helpful.
This is a great album with the classic synergy of Green and pianist Sonny Clark, who along with Sam Jones on bass and Art Blakey complete the quartet. This album was also released on The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Grant Green and Sonny Clark.
