On Green Dolphin Street (Kaper) | Grant Green | Gooden’s Corner (1961)
One of my favourite standards, since Martial Solal got around it.
- Grant Green guitar
- Sonny Clark piano
- Sam Jones bass
- Louis Hayes drums
My favourite film!
I’ve been hunting down this beauty’s soundtrack for a year or so, all over the Martial Solal Trio tune Jazz Hallucination (played when Mr K. climbs the stairs to the painter’s room), and a few other cool songs…
And guess what? Kritzerland re-edited it!

This blog will be getting Belgian-themed for a week.
I am actually surprised that I didn’t post this yet.
Les deux Belges, legendary manouche guitarrist Django Reinhardt and vibraphonist Fats Sadi play this absolute essential of Django’s later bop years, after his taking up to the electric guitar, with big player Martial Solal on the piano, who has been on this blog a few times, Pierre Michelot on the bass and Pierre Lemarchand on the drums.
1953 April 8 - Decca, Paris
This is some of the best of its time, an all-star cast.
Get a feel for Django’s thick chords and abstract chromatic licks.
Did you too hear his guitar scream?
Be patient…
I told you someday we would get
This LP, PHILIPS B 77908L
WILL be mine someday. I’ve had Martial Solal’s Jazz Hallucination stuck in my head since I first watched Orson Welles’ The Trial. And Jazz sur l’Adagio d’Albinoni has been one of the most stimulating aural experiences I’ve had in my life, even though I never had a chance to listen to the whole of it. This is my Grail, and I’m determined to find it.
On Green Dolphin Street, played by The Sonny Rollins Quartet in Denmark, 1968.
Aired on Mezzo earlier tonight, just beautiful.
The artists: Sonny Rollins (saxophone); Niels Henning Orsted Pedersen (bass); Kenny Drew (piano); Albert Tootie Heath (drums).
Compare it to On Green Dolphin Street by The Martial Solal Trio.
Jazz sur l’Adagio d’Albinoni from Jean Ledrut’s original soundtrack of The Trial (1962)
This is why I want it so bad.
