Produced by Creed Taylor, it brings together Green with organist Larry Young, tenor saxophonist Harold Vick, drummer Ben Dixon and conguero Candido Camero, a lineup that gives the record its easy blend of hard bop sharpness, blues feeling and deep soul-jazz groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the album especially compelling is how clearly it shows Green's range without losing focus. His topical original “The Selma March” places the music in its moment, while “Willow Weep for Me” opens out into a spacious, unhurried performance and “That Lucky Old Sun” is handled with warmth rather than sentimentality. Throughout, Green's melodic clarity stays at the centre, with Larry Young's harmonically rich organ providing a perfect counterweight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHis Majesty King Funk\u003c\/em\u003e also marks the last of Green's recorded collaborations with Young, which gives the session extra weight within his catalogue. If you know Green from his earlier Blue Note work or his later funkier records, this set sits beautifully between those poles: relaxed, rhythmically strong and full of ensemble interplay rather than flash for its own sake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180g, Verve Acoustic Sounds Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMastered from the original analog tapes by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressed at Quality Record Pressings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStoughton tip-on gatefold jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jazz-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eSide A                       \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1.
