[807D14M0ND5]

I think human beings where responsible for recordings like this :)

[mujersemilla]

PUTZ GRILA, MANO?! WOW!

[mbnava]

more carefully listening to this song, musical chords is more revolutionary than the great Wes Montgomery, Grant really the inspiration for this song Green comes from the sky

[mbnava]

Yeahh, Grant SONG, NOBODY , was writer in the HEAVEN

[MrAccessallareas]

Words fail me.  Thanks for the wonderfull tune. I love this stuff.

[kmiaris]

[squonkdh]

Oh yeah baby this is sooo good !! go man go!!

[MusicEclecticArt]

Ive died and gone to heaven

[SlikkTim]

I love it how when Grant Green plays in the upper register hes so agressive with it the strings are buzzing and the amp crunches. It feels like a sax player blowin the hell out of his horn.

[HMJohnsonGuitar]

Thanks. a fan of the late Grant Green.

[number12stunna]

Complete mastery.

[johngoo343]

that "yeah!" 1:15, I wonder who that was, I'll bet Sam Jones.

[johngoo343]

This is his best song, combined so many elements. This is like Wes on steroids

[onthebus17]

I don't know if he's the Greatest, but he's about my Favorite. . . but then there's Wes, no it's Grant, no it's Wes, arggg, . . I love em both.  Seriously, no Guitar player was more in-the-pocket than Grant Green.

[cad4j]

I literally just found out about Grant Green tonight and he is absolutely blowing me away in every way possible.

[kkallebb]

IMHO the greatest of jazz guitarists.

[IceMann402]

man when i'm bored i jus listen to jazz and i prolly could jus any day all day especially Grant Green yo...

[honeboy57]

Grant's phrasing......impeccable.

[StromboliKicks]

some new so called jazz musicians out there should hear this first...

[MrGotac]

Good!

[sisteralberta]

Tal about something that was ahead of its time ...

[TheFizz40]

Wow, what an amazing vibe!! I have a few Grant Green albums, but not the one with this track. Anyone know what album this is from?

[phreakhacker]

@TheFizz40 The track comes from an album called 'The Complete Quartets with Sonny Clark'.

Beautiful album. Grant Green and Sonny Clark are on point through out.

[krugcpa]

@TheFizz40 This track was first issued in 1979 on the album "Nigeria," but didn't stay in print for very long. I grabbed it based on an article about this reissue series by Robert Palmer in Rolling Stone magazine. Thankfully it resurfaced in 1990 on the Mosaic set "The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Grant Green with Sonny Clark," then finally on a CD set issued by Blue Note.

[bootryfly]

I've dubbed this sound "murder mystery blues".... cuz it makes me feel like im watching an old episode of Columbo

[priapus56]

Hey everyone, punch in Grant Green, Lucky old Sun, and ENJOY!!

[wesm65]

One of Grant's greatest.

[Vonniepon]

Great song!! I'm a fan of Grant Green, but never heard this song. Thanks!

[hobblywobbly]

i dont think this is actually "it ain't necissarilly so" or at least the head doesn't sound like it even when considering that he was loosely interpritting the melody

[08machine]

@hobblywobbly check the liner notes for the album complete quartets with sonny clark. This track was from that and is listed correctly.

[Jan73463]

so inspiring

[GadgetVision]

this is the beginning of funk , hip-hop started from here. am I right ?

[DeSwiss]

@GadgetVision No, but you're getting warmer.

:-)

[GadgetVision]

and how is it exactly ?

[DeSwiss]

I say this only as my personal perspective having grown up listening to jazz (I was 11 with this album was cut) and realizing what a very small following most jazz artists (the exclusive ones) had. Some jazz artists did cross-over into mainstream in the 70s but mostly via Fusion.

[GadgetVision]

yeah, i want to know more. do you have any documentation? i would appreciate it. thx

[Jake101686]

yes

[wseaqyght34217]

[SlikkTim]

@wseaqyght34217 carpaccio time. he sounds so PISSED

[Hugh9]

Just about my favourite jazz tune. The groovemanship is exquisite.

[tristramshandy3]

I highly recommend the version Herbie Hancock does on Gershwin's World. Very nice!

[nypaver1]

nice stuff

[krugcpa]

I first heard about this track in an article in Rolling Stone in 1979 written by Robert Palmer. The quality of jazz at Blue Note was so good that outstanding sessions such as this weren't released when recorded. This 1962 session was released for the first time in 1979as "Nigeria" #LT-1032 as one of the "Blue Note Classic" series. This session was re-released on the double CD set "Grant Green: The Complete Quartets with Sonny Clark" and is still available (and highly recommended.)

[JLMEYO]

enchanteur; Il y a une progression harmonique qui fait penser à Django de John Lewis

[noxdeluxe]

ha-ha. INDEED.

this is THAT ish.

[jibsmokestack1]

Love this track. Sonny Clark & Grant Green, a match made in heaven!!!

[de2caldwell]

Wow !! This is great music !! It brings tears to my eyes. I wish I could have seen him live. Thank you God for recordings like this. Thank you Grant for taking me on a wonderful jazz journey.

[enakrium]

Amazing stuff!!

[PANGMAN420]
