Green Is Beautiful is an album by American jazz guitarist Grant Green featuring performances recorded in 1970 and released on the Blue Note label. The Allmusic review by Steve Huey awarded the album 3 stars and stated "Green Is Beautiful finds the guitarist growing more comfortable with harder, funkier R&B than he seemed on the softer-hued Carryin' On... Green Is Beautiful proves that Green's reinvention as a jazz-funk artist wasn't the misguided disaster it was initially made out to be". - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL8NuQZWXnI&list=OLAK5uy_kRTGSbXj3oUyw6vseRCT8e9JEsoKXu9-8 #GrantGreen #BlueNote #Jazz #Funk #JamesBrown #TheBeatles #JazzGuitar #Music

Goin' West is an album by American jazz guitarist Grant Green featuring performances recorded in 1962 but not released on the Blue Note label until 1969. It is a loose concept album inspired by Western music. It features pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Reggie Workman and drummer Billy Higgins. The All About Jazz review by Colin Fleming stated "Goin' West, though nominally a country and western recording, moves us into the realm of folk music—bluegrass folk music and clippity-clappity cowboy tunes... Having said that, it would be hard to imagine Goin' West being a greater delight, a straight forward, unencumbered jazz delight—finesse jazz is a readily applicable moniker... Goin' West is an intriguing release nonetheless" - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a5DpNbwJe8&list=RD_a5DpNbwJe8&start_radio=1 #GrantGreen #BlueNote #HerbieHancocck #ReggieWorkman #BillyHiggins #Jazz #Country #Music #BlueNote

The Grass Is Greener by Grassella Oliphant released on Atlantic in 1967. Review by Stephen Cook ...With guitarist Grant Green and B-3 master John Patton completing the classic organ combo setup, the trio particularly stretch out on fine numbers like "Cantaloupe Woman" and Patton's own "Soul Woman." While these cuts are marked by a progressive, almost modal sound, much of the other material, which also features tenor saxophonist Harold Ousley and trumpeter Clark Terry, has a more down home and groove-heavy flavor; this is especially true on Terry's "Peaches Are Better Down the Road" and a cover of Allen Toussaint's classic bit of New Orleans soul, "Get Out of My Life Woman." Other standouts include a rendition of Marvin Gaye's "Ain't That Peculiar" and Ousley's breezy Latin swinger "The Latter Days." A great set. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8JfOvdKa-Q #GrassellaOliphant #ClarkTerry #JohnPatton #GrantGreen #Jazz #SoulJazz #Music
