Grant Green - Lazy Afternoon

[alankclayton1]

This guy is unbelievable. I can't get enough of him. Refreshing, talented, great tone, tasteful. Just an absolute wow!!!

[jeremyb1910]

Oh yeah, jazzmen invented reggae, ladies and gentlemen!

[PstKojeck]

such a smooth sound i love how the music helps me to chill

[snafutube]

at least one cloth-eared prick voted this down!

[damfazify]

in all my years{48)never heard of this guy.why i dont know as im a coltrane and george benson fan.this guy is so talanted,in a word WOW

[Crabsdonthum]

Grant was so great.

[elsiemabel]

i go to sleep listening to Grant, and im annoyed that my fav song he did (a foggy day) is not on yt

[OpsoclonusMyoclonus]

@elsiemabel so put it on there, let me hear it :)

[elsiemabel]

@OpsoclonusMyoclonus shall put it on a video, but my video 'The Uglyworm Dance' has an upbeat one :D

[BackwardsMoney08]

This is the kind of music that will allow you to take your mind to that special place. Smooth, mellow, down right relaxing!

[autodelete66]

Once you've heard Morgana King's version,

arranged exquisitely by Torrie Zito, (Taste of Honey Album)

ALL others will fall to 2'nd place. 

[KA1ZR]

Haven't listened to much of Grant Green (this is the only one I've heard of him) but after listening to quite abit of old Wes I can definitely say he's bebop. I'm assuming that Grant Green's the same (I'm going to go listen to a Green original right now).

[tonyiommi87]

Hey guys, i have a question, i'm interrested in music by Grant Green and Wes Montgomery, mainly Guitar-jazz. What's the name of their Jazz-Style? I've been looking for good radiostations at shoutcast! Do you guys know some of them?

[TheBirdBrothers]

@tonyiommi87 grant green did some amazing work on Blue Note - try to find Idle Moments album and also MAtador. This type of jazz just gets called Modern Jazz. But Grant Green has very much the Blue Note sound - check out any Joe Henderson albums from the period and Larry Young - Unity LP and Andrew Hill. Also Wayne Shorter / Herbie Hancock Blue Note albums. I think you will like them. Grant Green Solid is a great album too if you can find it.

[BackwardsMoney08]

@tonyiommi87 Grant is more of Hard bop guitarist. Wes started in bebop but he gradualy progressed to more of hard bop/pop style.

[foggy4180]

This tune sounds so lazy and the mood the musicians spreading here is so relaxing.It sounds like a time that doesn't exist anymore in this hurry up world of today, I can listen to this for hours and hours also the drumming of Elvin Jones is great and everyone is so laid back, these cats are really cool!

[guitarhero343]

What a great album!

[tedmoniak]

Green is Beautiful!

[YerUncleKeith]

makin me cry man...

[johngoo343]

Joe Pass is the best jazz guitarist to ever play, but I think Grant edged him out on this tune.

[dhejones]

Love it. Just love it.

[aammirr]

...my favorite Green side, ever !

This is definative Grant; if you were lucky enough to see him 'Live'. Miss you ol'friend.

[TrueMason]

blues in 5/4 brilliant

[IceMann402]

nuthin beats jazz man, only thing that comes close is 90s hip hop dats about it ((d-_-b))

[clwb0fpv]

@IceMann402

I consider it part of jazz...

[IceMann402]

@clwb0fpv exactly cuz its one of those genre's that can succesfully mash up with it perfectly which is why i listen to many 90s and underground hip hop artists cuz they understand the trade and genre of music

[vasilakiz]

one of a kind

[tobeme1737]

Very mellow

[sferemonk]

This song is a diamond. If they put that in one of those rockets out into outer space friendly aliens would rush to come and relax with us, and any hostile aliens would say 'These guys are just tooooo cool. We have no weapons that could even touch them.'

[usralreadytaken]

wow thanks for sharing..heaven

[tristramshandy3]

Great jam!

[tristramshandy3]

@tristramshandy3 I agree wholeheartedly. What a nice jam. Viva los Vibraphones!

[tristramshandy3]

@tristramshandy3 you just couldn't be more correct. great tune!

[mahoose6]

Grant Green. What more is there to say.

[lvanhalen]

I recently discovered mr green incredible I dont think he got as much as the other cats he was the man even if underrated

[SirChelsea86]

Discovered the tune through one of the ultimate fake books on piano .. awesome tune

[Gietmarenou]

Magnificient, thanks for the share

[Kingzeen]

Elevat - or music ;)

[zaratthustra]

dude....L,LAHILLLAHEILLALLAH!!­!!

[418mhzcablefree]

This is brilliant!

[jakhac]

Smooth, mellow and unhurried, the way life should be! Super stuff!

[SmelOdies]

@jakhac Don't like the sound of marimbas. Otherwise, good stuff.

[wetbedsheet]

this is great. i love hutcherson and green. have you guys ever heard the version on Basra by Pete La Roca? Joe Henderson lays down some incredible tenor sax playing on that cut.

[BrucknerMotet]

I saw Bobby Hutchinson at Yoshi's in Berkeley several years before I heard Green's Lazy Afternoon, which made my first listening that much better. The liner notes said it best: a 4/4 song in 5/4 never felt less gimmicky with Green in charge of phrasing.

[MichaelCorleone1962]

Grant Green recorded a huge number of really amazing tracks, but I think "Lazy Afternoon" is one of his very best.

Thanks for posting this!

[DJjNo1]

Who Knows a song as Relaxing as this with the same Jazzy Vibe? Please help!

[TheFunkify]

Breezin by George Beson, Lullaby of Birdland, and of course other stuff by this guy. Norah Jones (Don't know why), too. Comes down to taste though. Even Burt Bacharach might relax you. There's so much stuff. iTunes "Salsa Rosso" for a great smooth jazz album.

[qz3bmz]

Such a beatiful treatment of this song; just plain makes ya

feel good. This music must last forever. Hopefully it will

always be appreciated, and not only by those that came along

when musicians performed music. Thanks so much for sharing this gem!

[aammirr]

Grant's best LP/CD !

'I Wish You Love' is exemplary !

[looslip]

holy shit murs sampled this!

[rantanplan36]

What a fresh and smooth, strong contrast to all of theses high-speed musicans machinegun idiots.. too many of these guys try only to f*ck as many notes in the *s per minute as possible, even in ballads, THESE guys here are breathing the music...just like a good wine, a good whiskey or a long and fruitful night..

[ardentepatience]

@rantanplan36 yeah, like he has something to say, instead of moving air.

[ardentepatience]

@rantanplan36 yeah, like he has something to say, instead of moving air.

[TheJuliusJT]

@rantanplan36 Well said! Too many plays as if he/she have something to proove

[tasfa10]

@TheJuliusJT that makes no sense at all. you dont have to proove anything but if you're doing something try to be the best at it even if its just for yourself. i understand people dont like metal or shredding or whatever u're talking about but PLEASE dont use the excuse of not having something to proove or being feeling the music to not be as good at playing. someone who doesnt feel and love music wont spend their entire life and hours per day to achieve the level best shredders achieve.

[mlademamehocekurca]

@rantanplan36 fag

[Ahsayo]

@mlademamehocekurca Your the kind of folk I like to see around these parts ;). blows kisses

[ZachsGayCat]

@rantanplan36 I see you baby boomers finally figured out how this whole newfangled "keyboard typing thing" works huh?

[tasfa10]

@rantanplan36 same for you, read my reply to TheJuliusJT

[xVictimOfADownx1]

@rantanplan36 what are you talking about? in what context?
