Mean Greens

Mean Greens is an album by American jazz saxophonist Eddie Harris recorded in 1966 and released on the Atlantic label.

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 Sounds "Freedom Jazz Dance," but the program of mostly Harris originals is a satisfying set based around two groups".
