Grant Green
July 4, 2009
Grant Green (1935-1979) was a jazz guitarist and composer who recorded prolifically, and almost exclusively, for Blue Note Records as both a leader and a sideman. Green performed hard bop, soul jazz, bebop and Latin-tinged vibes while often doing so in an organ trio setting. His sound was immediately recognizable as he avoided chord structures and played single notes with the midrange maxed out to achieve his signature sound that was described as “lithe, loose, punchy, slightly bluesy and righteously groovy”.
