Grant Green's version of 'Round About Midnight

For the last five years or so, Grant Green's version of 'Round About Midnight has been one of my favorite tracks. Ror general enjoyment or auditioning, on vinyl or cd (now on my server!) it still represents, for me, a truly intimate and well-recorded version of an oft-recorded classic. If you're a fan of jazz guitar, go get it now--seriously!

If you already know it and love it, I'd be curious to hear what other cuts (by any other jazz guitarists) you think also have this special combination of wonderful musicianship, producing/engineering, and intimacy. I guess there's something about the slightly melancholy sound of this track that has me entranced!

Check out Grant Greens Best of and Idle Moments as well. Both quite good for GG depending whether you want to go shallow or deep into his stuff.

Burrell is awesome on pretty much anything he hsa done from solo, trio stuff to the great Ellingtonia sets. His work wtiht both Coltrane and Grover Washington were real enjoyable. Midnight Blue is a great classic. Live at the Vanguard is great for a live trio guitar gig with a mix of blues, jazz and a little latin.

Frisell is interesting. I like Nashville, East West, Good Dog Happy Man, Futher East-West,Frisell & Hirsch, The Intercontnentals.
Larry Coryell-Minor Bluse, Trio with Round Midnight and Shes Leaving Hom...cant remeber the name.
