All of the album's songs were recorded on December 23, 1961. While the six trio tracks originally appeared on the LP, the seventh tune taped on that date, which included tenor saxophonist Ike Quebec as a guest star, was issued on Quebec's album Blue and Sentimental. The Gooden's Corner session marked the first occasion on which Green recordedwith bassist Sam Jones. It was also the first recorded collaboration between the guitarist and drummer Louis Hayes, with whom he would also record the LPs Oleo and Born to Be Blue.
