1966 studio album by Eddie Harris
Mean Greens Eddie Harris recorded in 1966 and released on the Atlantic label.[ 1] [ 2]
Reception
The Allmusic review states "Eddie Harris' trademark chops and versatility are well showcased on this respectable follow up to Harris' excellent Atlantic debut, The In Sound . Mean Greens doesn't have a signature piece, like The In Sound' s "Freedom Jazz Dance," but the program of mostly Harris originals is a satisfying set based around two groups".[ 3]
