Our Take

Ah, GRANT GREEN's Born To Be Blue, what a delightful little nugget of smooth jazz goodness we have here. This album is like a warm embrace from your cool uncle who always knows the best tunes to groove to.

Green's guitar work on this record is nothing short of sublime, effortlessly gliding through each track with a laid-back swagger that makes you want to pour yourself a whiskey on the rocks and kick back in a dimly lit room. From the title track "Born To Be Blue" to the funky vibes of "Someday My Prince Will Come," Green keeps things fresh and interesting throughout.

The band backing Green on this album is tight as a drum, providing the perfect backdrop for his scintillating guitar solos. They know when to take a step back and let Green shine, but also know when to step up and take the spotlight themselves.

Born To Be Blue is the kind of album that you put on when you want to impress your date with your impeccable taste in music, or when you just need a little pick-me-up on a dreary day. It's smooth, it's funky, and it's guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

So pour yourself that drink, settle in, and let GRANT GREEN take you on a musical journey that you won't soon forget. Cheers to Born To Be Blue, a true gem in the world of jazz.
