On Green Dolphin Street

I used to have some music links on my Facebook profile page and one was a link to a performance of On Green Dolphin Street by The Sonny Rollins Quartet. It was recorded in 1968 in Denmark. I’m putting that link back here. Also, I’m adding two other more recent versions of this great standard.

Sonny Rollins Quartet:



Keith Jarrett Trio:



Hank Jones Trio:



While reading the comments by some listeners of Hank Jones, I discovered that he died earlier this month. He was an extremely talented musician and I didn’t realize he was 91 (he had been performing until recently).

Also, here’s Hank Jones talking about this musical style (bebop). I agree with him about not liking the term bebop for this music.
