Our Take

The new album from jazz legend Grant Green, "Alive," is a belter of a record that showcases the 77-year-old guitarist at the top of his game. Recorded live at the famous Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London, Green effortlessly weaves his signature blend of bebop and soulful grooves throughout the set.

From the opening track "Funky Mama" to the closing notes of "A Night in Tunisia," every moment on this album is packed with energy and infectious rhythms. Green's guitar work is impeccable, as he effortlessly glides through complex chord progressions and blistering solos with the skill of a seasoned pro.

The backing band, including pianist Ronnie Mathews and drummer Al Harewood, provides a solid foundation for Green to shine, adding depth and texture to each track. The chemistry between the musicians is palpable, creating a sense of spontaneity and excitement that is rarely captured on a live recording.

While some tracks veer towards the predictable side, with Green sticking to familiar jazz standards, there are moments of brilliance scattered throughout the album. Standout tracks like "My Favorite Things" and "The Selma March" showcase Green's ability to breathe new life into familiar tunes, infusing them with his own unique style.

Overall, "Alive" is a testament to Grant Green's enduring talent and his ability to captivate audiences with his dazzling guitar work. This album is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast looking for a taste of live music magic.
