Grant Green suggestions


Some time back, Green was strongly recommended in a thread here and I bought "Aint't It Funky Now". I just got around to cuing it up and I am loving it.

Which Grant Green release should I look for next?

Thanks in advance.

You may look for his live albums as well,I am aware of 3 of them,and also he recorded lots of albums as a guest guitarist in that period which are worth of listening,usually with some organ player,like big john patton,or baby face willete,or with pianist like sonny clark.He died in 1979,and maybe only some recordings in 70's are not so interesting because he was trying to make some money and therefore his recordings were made for commercial reasons more than artistic,but mayority of his work in almost 15 yeras are highly recommened.Try Kenny Burell,or Wes Mongomery as well
Orpheus,I am not sure if I undrestood you correctly,but if you are looking for Baby Face editions on 'blue note',here in Europe you can buy them without a problem,on cd anyway.
Orpheus,gladly,no problem.
In my local cd shop there are 'Face to face' and 'Stop and listen.
Also just checked them on Amazon,they are obtainable there as well.
Also worth of mention is Green's work with Ike quebec,so
Martykl,you may look for those colaborations as well,quebec is a great sax player
Martykl,just thought to remind you of a another great but under rated guitar player that willl sure make you smile.
It is Ivan 'boogallo' Joe Jones,guess you can find his albums,on amazon probably,try 'Right on'.
