JazzTimes (11/96, p.88) - "...the guitarist's fat sound and unflappable technique...serve these tunes especially well....And, as it turns out, these tunes serve Green especially well, with melody lines as bright and uncluttered as his own solos..."
St. Louis-born guitarist Grant Green was a giant of what came to be known as soul-jazz. His singular style incorporated the influences of Gospel, blues, and R&B, and defined a unique post-bop language for electric guitar. His classic early-1960s Blue Note recordings are high-water marks of both the soul-jazz sound and of jazz guitar in general. Drug abuse sadly hampered his later career; he died in 1979, but his son, the jazz guitarist Grant Green, Jr., continues his legacy.
