The Beatles’ hits and bossa novas were all the rage among jazz musicians in the mid-1960s. Guitarist Grant Green paid tribute to this in 1965 on his album ‘I Want To Hold Your Hand’, but also interpreted a few jazz standards with his all-star quartet. ‘Even though much of the material has definite pop overtones, the quartet sounds modern in a very subtle way, both in the rhythmic interactions and in the soloists’ choice of harmonies.” (AllMusic, 4½ stars)
