Sunday Mornin' is an album by American jazz guitarist Grant Green recorded for Blue Note on June 4, 1961 and released the following year.[2] Bassist Ben Tucker and drummer Dave Bailey return from Green’s previous album, joined by pianist Kenny Drew.
Reception
The AllMusic review by Steve Huey states, "Green is tasteful and elegant as always, and the results make for an enjoyable addition to his discography, even if there are more distinctive Green albums available."[3] The All About Jazz review by Norman Weinstein awarded the album 4.5, stating, "There's not a bad tune on this peerless set, and whatever your feelings about Green's place in jazz history, it's highly recommended."[4]
