Our Take

Grant Green's debut album, "Grant's First Stand," is a refreshing blast from the past that will have you grooving in no time. This jazz legend truly knows how to make a statement with his smooth guitar skills and infectious rhythms.

From the moment the needle drops on the first track, "Miss Ann's Tempo," you can sense Green's undeniable talent shining through. His tight-knit band provides the perfect backdrop for his melodic solos, delivering a sound that is both timeless and ahead of its time.

The standout track, "Blues for Willarene," showcases Green's versatility as a musician, with its soulful vibes and dynamic shifts that keep you on your toes. It's a masterclass in how to create a mood with just a few notes and a whole lot of heart.

Green's playing shines brightest on the laid-back, yet funky "Cry Me a River," where his effortless style and impeccable technique take center stage. It's the kind of track that begs for a late-night listen with a glass of your finest bourbon in hand.

Overall, "Grant's First Stand" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado looking to expand their musical horizons. Green's talent knows no bounds, and this album is a testament to his enduring legacy in the world of jazz. Trust us, you won't be disappointed with this gem from the archives.
