one of my all time favorite Grant tunes

"Empanada" is hands-down one of my all-time favorite Grant Green tunes. It was recorded on "Easy," his last album. If you look at his eyes on the inside sleeve, you can see the fatigue in his body. It hardly shows up in his playing in this energetic tune.

I love, among things, the sounds of Karen Joseph, flutist and piccolo player on this album, which was released in 1978 by Versatile. Jorge Dalto's performance on piano is also wonderful.

P.S. This song is one of George Benson's favorite Grant Green tunes, too. It is also on heavy rotation as editing on the documentary continues.
