[Philtration]

I love that Epiphone Casino!

[NickinDK]

@Philtration, It is not an Epi Casino, but a Gibson ES-330.

[Philtration]

@NickinDK You are right.

He did play the ES-330 which is the Gibson version of the Casino.

Thanks for the heads up.

[samziwantspeace11]

Does anybody know where I could find the tabs for this song? I'm fairly new to jazz guitar so i'm finding it hard to learn by ear.

Thanks in advance

[felipecabotaje]

Got me funkin' while I write my CV. Anyone know who's on Tenor Sax?

[roscoegino]

These ten minutes could cure the most rotten mood I could possibly find myself in. Great stuff.

[warminghut]

These ten minutes could cure the most rotten mood I could possibly find myself in. Great stuff.

[profpantaloni]

I still wonder why GGreen isn't as famous as many other jazz or soul men. This tune is just brilliant and Grant Green is as always just dropping notes one after another so perfectly.

[stratitis]

the image effect @ 1:15 is very psychedelic...great song...cool groove....>;o)

[SpringSoFarAway]

What a song! :) What a Guitar player! Grant Green! Sweet Ü

[vmaster888]

Because di riddim it cool, riddim it nice, riddim it sweet, riddim in check :)

[cad4j]

Whoever doesn't like this..hates music.

[philthekill100]

1st of all DrVonostrand get the facts striaght, it was recorded at the Cliche'Lounge in Newwark,around 1970

[RyseTheWizard]

You know it's good when only about 1.2% percent of those who listen to it don't like it, and the rest are just kickin' it the jazzy way.

[ThePoppster]

Who are the 3 idiots who DIDN'T like this??!!

This is awesome! .... Enough said!!!

[rillloudmother]

[jaimepaullamb]

@TheJuliusJT claude bartee on tenor. don't ask me what tree he climbed down from. never heard of the guy, but he's blowin' his ass off on this cut. bar-walkin' shit.

[Slamgrass1]

@jaimepaullamb blowin his ass off. Nice. Smoooooth grooooove

Thanks for posting!

[theohaigy]

They don't play stuff like this anymore. I really wish they would!

[sabinabarbara]

very good ,thanks

[heartlandrails]

cool, so THIS is where Steppenwolf got this song..

[ardnega]

@heartlandrails not too sure, I maybe wrong but I have a feeling its the other way round. There's a Steppenwolf video from '68 whereas Grant Green's version seems to be from '70.

[maidoodesu]

very nice !  です.

[biggerturtle]

Play it man

[austinpawl]

[tishierkrisis]

[daiegfreejazz]

grant smoking a big join ¡¡¡

[frodus23]

Man played the guitar like a sax... He was brilliant & under-appreciated. The most distinctive sound & style in jazz guitar history.

[imthebrother]

Remember this sample used for Us3's Yukka Root or something, excuse my correction.

[imthebrother]

wait I got it Yukka Root's Riddim, I got it!

[urnot4me69]

@imthebrother I think you're thinking of another Green masterpiece, A Walk In The Night

[urnot4me69]

@imthebrother Nvm it is this one. My bad.

[amineurin]

just! YEAH!!! FUCKING amazing!

[urnot4me69]

Soul stirring. Love Grant Green. Anything he does is pure jazzical masterdom.

[Jake101686]

[savadent]

Great!!!!Great!!!!Great!!!

[fbrrmms880]

WOOOW TRES BON!

[Outsider770]

Two words: F*ck yeah!

[AlexGoingUnder]

Brilliant.

[PHALANX100BC]

One picture is worth a thousand words....who got any royalties from all the samples taken??????

[skama2001]

!!!!!!!!!!!

[NorthShoreMike]

Always loved this song, have the live CD.  I think it was originally an R&B thing written by Steve Cropper, of all people.

[tomthefunky]

Why of all people, northshoremike? Steve Cropper wrote some of the finest RnB and soul ever recorded. He wrote this with Don Covey. But Grant's version is a classic itself.

[NorthShoreMike]

Dunno, just was surprised to learn that Cropper had written this particular tune. Not sure why. Hell, Cropper co-wrote "Dock of the Bay" among many other classics, so, you're right, I shouldn't be surprised.

[NorthShoreMike]

"Besides his influential work with the MGs, Cropper co-wrote "Knock On Wood" with Eddie Floyd, "In the Midnight Hour" with Wilson Pickett, and "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" with Otis Redding. His partnership with Redding was particularly fruitful; "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of the Bay" alone has been played over six million times, making it the sixth most-played song of all time (and the ASCAP catalog's second most)."

[Jake101686]

Cropper wrote a ton of stuff comin out of the jazz-funk era back in the 60's and 70's.....His main band Booker T and the MGs was the house band for Stax records...home to Albert King, Issac Hayes and others....Dig it all brotha-man

[Zeitgeist74]

This song JAMS! I love that simple, rhythm section. It's just driving the song behind Grant and (who is that on sax, Yusef Lateef?)!

[SlikkTim]

That would be the criminally underrated Claude Bartée on sax. One of the funkyest tenor solos I've ever heard ! Damn, listen to that solo break ! Insane !! BTW the whole lp "live at the lighthouse is smokin'

[bazmcginnty]

this is on par with ramsey lewis, wade in the water..

[happycat00]

yeaah ... makes you smile

[amalia01]

love it

[califgirl101]

LOL! I just now requested this song and look what I found! One of my all time favorite Grant Green tunes! Dig that organ goin toward the end of this song! Yeah baby! :)

[lefeverthierry]

!!gnos tselooc eht si siht

[ICONSELECTA]

Pure sample of jazz funk. (too same so many jazz and funk artists died so young from drugs(espesially morphin ).

Quality black music.

[bigflipthemassive]

mighty morphin?

[djape1977]

[fromBulgaria]

[Maibordeldemerde]

Perfect jazzy song.

[orerlich]

BOOM!

[flawedd]

This track is so fucking awesome! It's the best HAHA
