"Just hope that you will not decide next to post all J.S. Bach's albums you've got"
Too late. I have already done that on another thread. FYI, my next 'survey' will be my 10 CD set of Spike Jones Greatest Hits. All come highly recommended by The Frogman, so you know it will be good stuff.

"It seems I am not tired ever of Grant Green".
There’s something very bracing/refreshing about Green’s relatively cool tone. Kenny Burrell is great but he and most other Jazz guitarists of that era utilized such a bass-heavy tone. To me, that somewhat dull, thick sound becomes monotonous rather quickly but I don’t find that’s true with Green-- there’s a vibrant, singing quality to every note that I find very appealing.
Of course, Green (for much of his Blue Note work, at least) played an ES330 -- which is a considerable thinner-bodied instrument than the bigger Jazz boxes commonly used by Burrell, Montgomery, J. Smith, Ellis, etc., so that’s also a factor. You put it the way i would have wanted to say it....Thanks.... With Joe Pass speaking intimate tone, i enjoy Green simple singing qualities very much... Among my 2 favorites in guitar jazz.... There is many more others to enjoy for sure.... But love love with reason or without.... |
