1	Idle Moments (1963) more music like this by Grant Green This languid, seductive gem may well be Grant Green's greatest moment on record. Right from the opening bars of the classic title cut, Idle Moments is immediately ingratiating and accessible, featuring some of Green's most stylish straight jazz playing. Whether he's running warm (pianist Duke Pearson's "Idle Moments"), cool (the Modern Jazz ... see all copies from $11.12! new only from $11.13!
2	The Complete Quartets with Sonny Clark (1961) more music like this by Grant Green & Sonny Clark Mosaic released a four-disc box set titled The Complete Blue Note With Sonny Clark in 1991, rounding up everything that the guitarist and pianist recorded together between 1961 and 1962. Blue Note's 1997 version of the set, The Complete Quartets With Sonny Clark, trims Mosaic's collection by two discs, offering only the quartet sessions (the Ike ... see all copies from $21.44! new only from $21.44!
3	Matador (1964) more music like this by Grant Green Grant Green recorded so much high-quality music for Blue Note during the first half of the '60s that a number of excellent sessions went unissued at the time. Even so, it's still hard to figure out why 1964's Matador was only released in Japan in 1979, prior to its U.S. CD reissue in 1990 -- it's a classic and easily one of Green's finest albums. ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $11.13!
4	I Want to Hold Your Hand (1965) more music like this by Grant Green The third of three sessions Grant Green co-led with modal organist Larry Young and Coltrane drummer Elvin Jones, I Want to Hold Your Hand continues in the soft, easy style of its predecessor, Street of Dreams. This time, however -- as one might guess from the title and cover photo -- the flavor is less reflective and more romantic and outwardly ... see all copies from $11.12! new only from $11.12!
5	Am I Blue? (1963) more music like this by Grant Green This quintet date by guitarist Grant Green was one of the last of his Blue Note albums to be reissued on CD, and it is somewhat clear why. The musicians (Green, trumpeter Johnny Coles, tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, organist John Patton, and drummer Ben Dixon) play well enough, but there are few inspiring moments. The material is not all that ... see all copies from $11.04! new only from $11.04!
6	Grant's First Stand (1961) more music like this by Grant Green Grant Green's debut album, Grant's First Stand, still ranks as one of his greatest pure soul-jazz outings, a set of killer grooves laid down by a hard-swinging organ trio. For having such a small lineup -- just organist Baby Face Willette and drummer Ben Dixon -- the group cooks up quite a bit of power, really sinking its teeth into the storming ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
7	Born to Be Blue (1961) more music like this by Grant Green Although Grant Green provided his share of groove-oriented soul-jazz and modal post-bop, his roots were hard bop, and it is in a bop-oriented setting that the guitarist excels on Born to Be Blue. Most of the material on this five-star album was recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's New Jersey studio on December 11, 1961, when Green was joined by tenor ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
8	Feelin' the Spirit [RVG Edition] (2005) more music like this by Grant Green Broadening his musical palette, Grant Green detoured into a number of "theme" sessions in 1962 -- the light Latin jazz of Latin Bit; the country & western standards of Goin' West; and the best of the bunch, the old-timey gospel album Feelin' the Spirit. For Feelin' the Spirit, Green takes five traditional, public-domain African-American spirituals ... see all copies from $11.04! new only from $11.04!
9	Standards (1961) more music like this by Grant Green In 1998, Blue Note released several CDs of previously unavailable (at least domestically) material from its prime years under the title of Standards. Some are not up to the level of the label's best output, but this outing is a definite exception. Guitarist Grant Green is heard in prime form in a sparse trio with bassist Wilbur Ware and drummer Al ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
10	Live at the Lighthouse (1972) more music like this by Grant Green Some of Grant Green's hottest moments as a jazz-funk bandleader came on his live records of the era, which were filled with extended, smoking grooves and gritty ensemble interplay. Live at the Lighthouse makes a fine companion piece to the excellent Alive!, though there are some subtle differences which give the album its own distinct flavor. For ... see all copies from $14.56! new only from $14.56!
11 view cover	Street of Dreams (1964) more music like this by Grant Green Grant Green's second session with organist Larry Young, Street of Dreams brings back drummer Elvin Jones and adds Bobby Hutcherson on vibes for a mellow, dreamy album that lives up to its title. There are only four selections, all standards and all around eight to ten minutes long, and the musicians approach them as extended mood pieces, creating ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
12 view cover	Grantstand (1961) more music like this by Grant Green Grant Green's third album to be released, Grantstand teams the clear-toned guitarist with an unlikely backing group of musicians who rarely appeared with Blue Note otherwise: tenor saxophonist Yusef Lateef (who doubles on flute), organist Brother Jack McDuff, and drummer Al Harewood. Although Lateef was beginning to delve deeply into Eastern ... see all copies from $7.54! new only from $7.54!
13 view cover	Talkin' About! (1964) more music like this by Grant Green On the heels of Matador and Solid, two of his most advanced albums, Grant Green decided to continue the more modal direction he'd begun pursuing with the help of members of Coltrane's quartet. Accordingly, he hooked up with organist Larry Young, who was just beginning to come into his own as the first Hammond B-3 player to incorporate Coltrane's ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
14 view cover	His Majesty King Funk/Up with Donald Byrd (1995) more music like this by Grant Green/Donald Byrd This single Verve CD reissues the complete contents of two unrelated LPs: Grant Green's His Majesty King Funk (great title) and Up with Donald Byrd. Unfortunately, the music overall is not as rewarding as Green and Byrd's work of the period for Blue Note. Green is OK with a quintet that includes tenor saxophonist Harold Vick and organist Larry ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
15 view cover	Introducing G.G. (2002) more music like this by Grant Green Jr. see all copies from $12.99! new only from $14.97!
16 view cover	Iron City (1967) more music like this by Grant Green Recorded for Muse Records in 1967 as Grant Green was on an extended recording hiatus -- it was his only record between 1965's His Majesty, King Funk, his only album for Verve, and 1969's Carryin' On, his return to Blue Note -- Iron City actually captures the guitarist in fine form, jamming on six blues and R&B numbers with his longtime cohorts, ... see all copies from $10.40! new only from $10.50!
17 view cover	The Best of Grant Green, Vol. 1 (1961) more music like this by Grant Green While the "best-of" format often leaves quite a bit to be desired in a jazz setting, this set contains good Green material from his most productive period, the early and mid-'60s. There's a nice mix between uptempo and slower numbers, standards and his own compositions, as well as soul jazz and straight mainstream and bop material. Although this ... see all copies from $2.95!
18 view cover	Ballads (2002) more music like this by Grant Green Ballads captures Grant Green in a mellow mood, offering something like a portrait of an artist as a young guitarist. All seven selections are from 1960 and 1961, mostly, as the liner notes state, because Green performed ballads less often as time went on (especially as a leader). It's instructive and gratifying, then, to have pieces like "My One ... see all copies from $4.89!
19 view cover	Green Is Beautiful (1970) more music like this by Grant Green The second album of Grant Green's thorough jazz-funk makeover, Green Is Beautiful finds the guitarist growing more comfortable with harder, funkier R&B than he seemed on the softer-hued Carryin' On. The switch from Fender Rhodes electric piano back to the more traditional Hammond organ certainly helps give the session a little extra grit, but it ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $10.50!
20 view cover	The Latin Bit (1962) more music like this by Grant Green Grant Green, being known mainly as a soul-jazz guitarist, eventually gravitated into the popular boogaloo sound, a derivation of Latin music. The Latin Bit is the natural bridge to that next phase, though a bit premature for most in 1961-1963, even relative to the subsequent bossa nova craze. Pianist Johnny Acea, long an underrated jazzman, is the ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $10.50!
21 view cover	First Session (1960) more music like this by Grant Green First Session is just that: the first material Grant Green recorded as a leader for Blue Note in 1960. While the results were certainly good, the label chose to shelf the recordings. Producer Alfred Lion may have had some misgivings about the results, but it is doubtful that Green's fans or jazz guitar fans will have any such qualms. Pianist ... see all copies from $12.95! new only from $12.95!
22 view cover	Finest in Jazz (2007) more music like this by Grant Green As part of Blue Note's Finest in Jazz series, guitarist Grant Green is spotlighted on six tracks recorded between 1969 and 1971, along with his first release for the label, "Miss Ann's Tempo," in 1961. This set is aimed at the casual funk and acid jazz fan, which is the reason his earlier hard bop material is substituted with later groove tracks ... see all copies from $9.39! new only from $9.39!
23 view cover	Alive! (1970) more music like this by Grant Green Alive! is the hardest funk LP Grant Green recorded during the later phase of his career, capturing a storming gig at Newark's Cliché Lounge. The sweaty club atmosphere adds something to the music that's difficult to pin down, yet unmistakably present -- a certain organic quality that isn't as noticeable on Green's studio albums of the time. ... see all copies from $15.45! new only from $15.45!
24 view cover	Basic Jazz, Vol. 3 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $6.39! new only from $6.39!
25 view cover	Easy (1978) more music like this by Grant Green see all copies from $11.66! new only from $11.66!
