Alex I appreciate you coming out in my favor, but I have totally disregarded them dudes in regard to "Grant Green". I'm trying to find out what the recording quality is on "The Complete Blue Note recordings of Grant Green with Sonny Clark" Once b...

This is the day after an all night stand of partying, and nobody wanted to go home; it's around 7 AM and here we are sitting around "Maude's Flat", "whipped" meaning too tired, but not wanting to go home. There's a guy there I call "Rapscallion" ...

Art Blakey would not have wound up poverty stricken, if he had quit hitting on "Nica". He didn't realize she was a 'Baroness' or didn't know what that meant. Rich Americans pay a fortune to get a title like that by marrying someone with a title. ...

Frogman, and Rok, I never realized how good Grant Green's records were until now. I knew he was a good jazz musician, but I didn't realize how good until now. Maybe it's because I had heard him live without paying a fortune.I don't know when or h...

Rok, would you please read that post again.  Maybe you can answer how the records got to Japan.  What the holy smoly does Prince have to do with Grant Green,  Since you threw in The Beatles, why quit there, lets throw in the Pope. Just because he...

Rok, facts make their own point, do you remember "The facts mam, nothing but the facts" that's all.  Once the facts are gathered, you be the judge.Enjoy the facts.

Frogman, by the process of deduction, we know it wasn't because they were inferior recordings, and "Live At The Lighthouse" wasn't even in the mix of possibilities that were not released. Since we know the recordings that were not released during...

Rok, I've got almost all of Grant Greens CD's, and the one I like the least is "King Funk", but we ordered that for Donald Byrd, and not Grant Green, if you remember; consequently, that's good to. Grant is a very creative artist, and you wont get...

I don't pay any attention to those categories in regard to jazz (soul jazz) What's that? I'm not going to clutter my mind trying to define it. If you listen close to Grant Greens guitar, (Boss Jazz) is the only kind it (his guitar) knows how to p...

Below is Frogmans statement in regard to the music posted. "the recently posted "Live At The Lighthouse". Whose idea was it to hire Claude Bartee for that recording? Who knows. But it was not a good choice; he sounds absolutely awful on soprano sa...

Many of Grant's recordings were not released during his lifetime. These include McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones (also part of the Solid group) performing on Matador (also recorded in 1964), and several albums with pianist Sonny Clark. In 1966 Grant le...
