Our Take

GRANT GREEN - The Latin Bit

In the realm of jazz guitar gods, Grant Green reigns supreme, effortlessly blending Afro-Latin rhythms with his signature cool, breezy style. On "The Latin Bit," Green takes us on a musical journey through the sultry streets of Havana, the bustling clubs of Rio, and the serene beaches of the Caribbean.

From the opening notes of "Mambo Inn," Green's guitar effortlessly glides over the danceable rhythms, weaving in and out of the pulsating percussion with finesse. It's impossible not to sway along to the infectious grooves of tracks like "Besame Mucho" and "Tico Tico."

But Green is not content to just coast on the Latin vibes. He injects his own unique flair into each track, adding unexpected twists and turns that keep the listener on their toes. His nimble fingers dance across the fretboard, creating melodies that are both intricate and mesmerizing.

The standout track has to be "Mambo Inn," a tour de force that showcases Green's virtuosity and creativity. With its irresistible groove and hypnotic melody, it's a track that demands repeat listens.

Overall, "The Latin Bit" is a masterclass in Latin jazz guitar, with Grant Green proving once again why he is considered one of the all-time greats. So grab a mojito, kick back, and let Green serenade you with his irresistible charm and infectious rhythms. Cheers to that!
