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 $11.13! new only from $11.13!
2	The Best Blue Note Album in the World Ever (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The Best Blue Note Album in the World Ever may boast a silly title, but it's hard to argue with what's on this double-disc sampler. Not all of the label's greatest artists are here, but everything is representative, showing how hard bop like John Coltrane's "Blue Train" and Lee Morgan's "The Sidewinder" coexisted with soul-jazz from Grant Green ( ... see all copies from $17.98! new only from $17.98!
3	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!
4	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!
5	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!
6	The Original Jam Master, Vol. 1: Ain't It Funky Now! (2005) more music like this by Grant Green Ain't It Funky Now! is the third of three thematically organized Grant Green compilations in the Blue Note Original Jam Master Series -- all of which focus on his final period recording for the label, between 1969 and 1972. Green was deeply interested in popular Black music in his late period and that is reflected in these seven cuts taken from ... 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	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!
9	The New Groove: The Blue Note Remix Project, Vol. 1 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists One of many jazz-rap fusion projects of the mid-'90s, The New Groove found top hip-hop acts of the time -- including Diamond D., Guru, the Roots, and Spearhead -- remixing and revamping classic tracks by legendary jazz artists like Donald Byrd, Lonnie Smith, and Bobby Hutcherson. Though far from a novel concept even then, the album works better ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $15.87!
10	Blue Bacharach: A Cooler Shaker (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Blue Bacharach: A Cooler Shaker features Blue Note interpreting Bacharach standards like "Always Something There to Remind Me," "I Say a Little Prayer," and "This Guy's in Love With You." Nancy Wilson's "Alfie," Grant Green's "Wives & Lovers," Stanley Turrentine's "Do You Know the Way to San Jose," and the Ernie Watts Quintet's "Knowing When to ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $14.69!
11 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 $9.62! new only from $9.62!
12 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!
13 view cover	Solid (1964) more music like this by Grant Green Solid is a companion piece to the Grant Green classic Matador, recorded about a month later with the same rhythm section, and also not issued until 1979. Green is once again accompanied by the Coltrane supporting team of pianist McCoy Tyner and drummer Elvin Jones, plus bassist Bob Cranshaw; this time, however, Green is also joined on the front ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $10.50!
14 view cover	Live at Club Mozambique (2006) more music like this by Grant Green Live at Club Mozambique was, according to Bob Belden's liner notes, rumored to exist for decades in Blue Note's Grant Green discography, but was never released. His explanation as to why is satisfactory -- Green's star had waned considerably -- and makes some sense, but the label had 15 unissued albums by the guitarist by 1971. This date recorded ... see all copies from $12.95! new only from $12.95!
15 view cover	Alive! [Bonus Tracks] (2000) 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 $14.56! new only from $14.56!
16 view cover	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 $11.13! new only from $11.13!
17 view cover	Carryin' On (1969) more music like this by Grant Green Reissued on CD as part of Blue Note's Rare Groove series, Carryin' On was Grant Green's first album for Blue Note since 1965, an absence of four years during which he recorded just two albums for other labels. Green's return was accompanied by a seismic shift in direction -- Carryin' On was an album of commercially accessible jazz-funk with a ... see all copies from $40.00!
18 view cover	Hip Jazz Bop: Not Your Typical Self Made Man (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $5.95!
19 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!
20 view cover	32 Gems from 32 Jazz (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Taking material from the '60s through the '90s, mostly from the vaults of the Muse and Landmark imprints, 32 Gems From 32 Jazz is an excellent three-disc sampler of the mainstream jazz label's catalog holdings and a fitting celebration of its first three years of existence. Nearly every major straight-ahead jazz style from that period is ... see all copies from $12.13!
21 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 $4.45!
22 view cover	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 $11.25! new only from $11.25!
23 view cover	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!
24 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!
25 view cover	Jazz for the Open Road [32 Jazz] (1998) more music like this by Various Artists This single CD (a 1998 reissue) has ten selections taken from the Muse and Landmark catalogs of the 1970s, '80s and early '90s. The ten selections all feature different straight-ahead jazz players, and reissue producer Joel Dorn considers each of the performances ideal to listen to while driving, although obviously one can enjoy these sounds while ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
