Comfy bump
Keep coming back to this, real good for a hot soak for my covid lung
This is my favourite album by him. I much prefer this kind of stripped back pseudo-chordless ensemble (given Green's single note soloing style this feels like the right way to describe it).
The albums I've heard where he has piano or organ backing just feel less raw and maybe even a little overwrought at times whereas this is consistently bluesy/soulful without any clutter.

Is this fusion? Is jazz only fusion if it mixes with pop/rock or does it count with other genre fusions?
So up until kind of blue dropped, everyone
was mostly soloing in chord scales?
Well not everybody, but nobody had synthesized modes with something sufficiently pleasant sounding enough for a multiplatinum payday
Sort of, depends on what you mean. If by that you're asking if people were playing triads with some extra chord tones like 7ths, 9ths and 13ths, there was a hell of a lot more than that happening. The harmonic backdrop of most pieces was based around chord progressions whereas in modal jazz the harmonic backdrop of most pieces is the mode. Even before modal jazz though, there was an increasingly complex harmonic language developed that featured a lot of chromaticism, reharmonisation, etc.
Modal jazz in a sense, gave more improvisational freedom to experiment with that harmonic language because players didn't have to also keep track of and stay tied to the increasingly complex chord progressions jazz compositions were employing.
