I Want to Hold Your Hand is an album by American jazz guitarist
Grant Green featuring performances recorded in 1965 and released on the
Blue Note label.[2] Featuring jazz arrangements of pop songs (including the title track by
The Beatles), Green is supported by organist
Larry Young and drummer
Elvin Jones from his previous sessions, along with tenor saxophonist
Hank Mobley.
The
AllMusic review by Steve Huey states, "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".[3]
