Description
The first guitar curl before the theme on A Day in the Life tells you where Grant Green is headed here: deep-pocket, organ-led groove with his lines floating just behind the beat. Green Is Beautiful takes the Blue Note guitar hero into lean, unfussy funk and soul-jazz, where every phrase is about feel and space. Tempos sit in that sweet zone for a Saturday tidy or a late drive, and the band keeps it locked without crowding the melodies.
This LP pressing does right by the vibe. The low end sits deeper and there is more room around the kit and organ, so the interplay breathes. Jacket art also looks sharp, a nice touch for the shelf. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Grant Green records online with us.
File it next to Lou Donaldson from the same era, but note the difference here is Green’s minimalist attack and how he lets the rhythm section carry the motion. The standout moment is how the group swells and releases under the melody of A Day in the Life, a small masterclass in restraint that keeps pulling you back.
Grant Green - Green Is Beautiful belongs in any late-60s to early-70s Blue Note corner. Available to order online or in our Melbourne record store, your crate needs this one.
