The third of three sessions Grant Green led with modal organist Larry
Young and Coltrane drummer Elvin Jones, I Want to Hold Your Hand
continues in the soft, easy style of its predecessor, Street of
Dreams. This time, however - as one might guess from the title and
cover photo - the flavor is less reflective and more romantic and
outwardly engaging. Part of the reason is tenor saxophonist Hank
Mobley, who takes Bobby Hutcherson's place accompanying the core
trio. His breathy, sensuous warmth keeps the album simmering at a low
boil, and some of the repertoire helps as well, mixing romantic
ballad standards (often associated with vocalists) and gently
undulating bossa novas. The title track - yes, the Beatles tune -
is one of the latter, cleverly adapted and arranged into perfectly
viable jazz that suits Green's elegant touch with pop standards; the
other bossa nova, Jobim's "Corcovado," is given a wonderfully
caressing treatment. Even with all the straightforward pop overtones
of much of the material, the quartet's playing is still very subtly
advanced, both in its rhythmic interaction and the soloists' harmonic
choices. Whether augmented by an extra voice or sticking to the basic
trio format, the Green/Young/Jones team produced some of the most
sophisticated organ/guitar combo music ever waxed, and I Want to Hold
Your Hand is the loveliest of the bunch. - amg
