专辑简介
Grant Green有厚实的节奏蓝调的背景，同时也有很扎实的bop爵士的技巧。他所欣赏的爵士乐前辈，大多是一些管乐器的音乐家，因此他常喜欢以单音弹奏来表现，这样的即兴演奏在吉他手之中是很不同的。 他的父亲也是一位吉他手，Grant Green 在13岁时就已经可以与福音乐团做很专业的演出。
1960年在萨克斯风手Lou Donaldson的建议下来到纽约市。 50年代时的合作乐手有Jimmy Forrest、Harry Edison以及Lou Donaldson。 60年代的Grant Green显得更加成熟与流畅，能像他如此精於标準爵士乐与抒情曲的吉他手是很少的，虽然乐评尚未给他很高的评价，这点它的确是被被低估与忽略，不过此时他已经是一位吉他明星。
接下来的主要合作乐手有Stanley Turrentine、Dave Bailey、Yusef Lateef、Joe Henderson、Hank Mobley、Herbie Hancock、McCoy Tyner以及Elvin Jones。60年代时因吸毒而中断一些时间，也让他在健康上受到很大的影响。
Grant Green (June 6, 1935 – January 31, 1979; some sources erroneously give the birth year as 1931) was a jazz guitarist and composer.
Recording prolifically and almost exclusively for Blue Note Records (as both leader and sideman) Green performed well in hard bop, soul jazz, bebop and latin-tinged settings throughout his career. Critics Michael Erlewine and Ron Wynn write, "A severely underrated player during his lifetime, Grant Green is one of the great unsung heroes of jazz guitar ... Green's playing is immediately recognizable -- perhaps more than any other guitarist."[1] Critic Dave Hunter described his sound as "lithe, loose, slightly bluesy and righteously groovy".[2] He often performed in an Organ trio, a small group with an organ and drummer.
