**Grant Green** , live, playing _Sookie Sookie_, I think from the early 70’s: [- YouTube](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EMuyV5jSKl4)

Wonderful groove that has been sampled a lot, with just the right guitar, Hammond organ and saxophone work going on. Enjoy.

Nice - love the groove. The sax is a bit too out for me (Giant Steps is about as far as I go), but what a great overall feel.
