Grant Green - Born to Be Blue - 180g import LP w/ gatefold jacket

Grant Green 
Grantstand

DOL 1054HG

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 this five-star album. Green is joined by Tenor titan Ike Quebec, Pianist Sonny Clark, Bassist Sam Jones and Drummer Louis Hayes. It's interesting to hear Quebec playing bop, for his big, breathy tone was right out of swing and was greatly influenced by Hawkins and Webster. Although Quebec and Green had very different musical backgrounds, they clearly enjoyed a strong rapport on the uptempo selectionsw as well as ballads. Contains 2 bonus tracks not found on the original LP.

Someday My Prince Will Come
If I Should Lose You
Back in Your Own Backyard
