Grant's Bluesy Jazz Debut.......2005-10-27

Grant Green was my introduction to jazz guitar. I think the reason he is so popular is because his music is so accessible. You don't have to be a die hard jazz fan to enjoy this music. Here Grant is playing in an Organ, Guitar, Drums format. And all the songs have a heavy blues influence. Great stuff!

A virtual textbook of jazz/blues guitar.......2003-05-28

I can't say enough how great this album is. Grant Green was one of the most soulful jazz guitarists who ever graced the planet. His soloing on this CD is filled with beautiful melodicism matched with a bluesy grit that is such a pleasure to listen to. And for me as a guitarist it has been an encyclopedia of how to play blues from a jazz perspective. My favorites are "Miss Ann's Tempo" and "Blues for Willarene". It is such a shame that he died so young and never collected his just due.

An important recording.......2001-11-08

For Green fans this one would be pretty important to have. It is one of his very first.if not the first, as a leader.
The organplayer is here "Babyface" Wilette that only made a few recordings in the beginning of the sixties for Blue Note. Wilette is easy to recognise, he plays with a tremendous blues feel.and have a kind of "staccato way" of playing that I never heard before.. and his playing fits very well with Green.
Green is just awesome on the nowadays classic "Miss Ann s Tempo"
his playing is so flawless and everything seems to be a piece of cake to him.
Wilette disappeared from the scene shortly after this..The organ wizzard Pete Fallico have tried to locate him.. but without results as far as I know.
Get this recording and dig Greens solo on "Blues for Willarene"
it is a "bluesmaster" you hear playing!!!

Solid Blue Note Debut.......1999-12-03

This album shows that Grant Green came roaring out of the gate a fully-formed talent; he already sounds amazingly self-assured considering this is one of his earliest recordings. If you're a fan of Green's straight-ahead Blue Note dates, get this.
