Cold Duck Time

This is a really good version of Eddie Harris’ Cold Duck Time.  It sounds like it could be in a 60/70’s era Grant Green organ trio album with its strong groove nature.  Theres a lot of wes-montgomery octave style stuff by the guitarist, followed by a lot of bluesy licks.  There’s a strong george benson influence in the single note stuff, and rounds off the guitarist’s sound well.  I like how the organ keeps repeating licks a few times in a row throughout his solo (for example, right at the start).  I think that kind of motivic repetition works well on a groove tune like this.  The drummer contributes significantly to the groove well, and I especially like his use of snare hits/cymbal accents in the melody.
