5 out of 5 stars A Great First Buy from Grant Green........2006-11-10

To be honest and up front, I'm not entirely familiar with the music of Grant Green nor am I familiar with his history as an artist. However, I must say that upon hearing his classic album "Green Street", I was highly impressed.
Recorded for Blue Note in 1961, "Green Street" finds Grant Green performing in a stripped down power trio setting. Because of the absence of other instruments such as piano or horns, this gives Green plenty of room to show off his relentless guitar chops. Most of the pieces are on the bluesy side such as the opening title track, "Grant's Dimensions" and the cover version of the standard "Alone Together". His version of Thelonious Monk's "Round About Midnight" shows off a tender yet still blues-oriented side of his playing while "Green With Envy" reminded me a bit of the instrumental/fusion side of the Allman Brothers Band (for some reason the Allman's "In memory of Elizabeth Reed" came to mind while listening to this track).
Rounding out the disc are two bonus alternate takes of "Alone Together" and "Green With Envy" which are a bit shorter than their master take counterparts.
As mentioned above, I'm not overall familiar with Grant Green's music but have found this release to be highly enjoyable. Grant was definitely a guitarist who was ahead of his game and his influence can be heard in guitarists that came to prominence after him in both Jazz and rock.
This is my first purchase of a Grant Green CD and I highly recommend this one to anyone looking for some great guitar Jazz. There's a lot of it here.
Definitely a classic!!!

5 out of 5 stars It's All Green .......2005-10-27

What I think is cool about this album is its just Grant, a bass player and a drummer. There are no horns and there isn't even a keyboard player. So you really hear the guitar. And there are also some great jazz standards here, like 'Round Midnight and Alone Together. If you like jazz guitar, you must have this album. Just buy it!

5 out of 5 stars Great jazz guitar.......2004-08-19

For a jazz fan, this is required listening. For a jazz GUITAR fan, this is essential. As a guitar player myself, I usually find frustrating that jazz guitar albums tend to steal the focus away from the guitar player by allowing other instruments to solo. This album was a nice surprise. Just guitar, just extended solos, no other instrument in the way. And what a guitar player Grant Green was! I'd certaintly recommend this as a first purchase for any guitar players out there who want to get to know jazz guitar.

5 out of 5 stars Grant Green at his best!.......2004-06-26

This one features some great playing by Green, you hear his normal bag of tricks with some surprises. Nobody has a touch like Green did, this is a great cd to study his sound, it is very clear. Also notice how Green outlines the changes with no piano. Ben Tucker and Dave Bailey give great performances too, listed to Bailey's snare drum comping, he brings the best out of Green. Listen and try to figure out what tune is based on Nica's Dream.
