O’s Notes: On Gratitude, composer and pianist Judson Green leads a quartet with Daniel Jordan (woodwinds), Walt Hubbard (d) and Ron Jenkins (b). Jordan’s melodies are warm and catchy as on “It’s Coming Back” and “Q” for Quincy Jones. Other highlights are “He’s Missing His Pants” and “Gentle Rain”. The late pianist was also an esteemed executive at Disney and a trustee at DePauw University. Gratitude was recorded in 2017 before Green died in August 2020 at 68.
