In my opinion, Grant Green is the most consistant of all jazz artists. I could listen to him all night.
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!
