Matador is an album by American jazz guitarist Grant Green. It contains performances recorded in 1964 but not released on the Japanese Blue Note label until 1979. It features Green with pianist McCoy Tyner and drummer Elvin Jones (both from John Coltrane’s group), and bassist Bob Cranshaw. The album was finally reissued in the U.S. on CD in 1990 with one bonus track. It was also reissued on vinyl in 2010, with a different cover.
