mahgister:You put it the way i would have wanted to say it....Thanks....
"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.
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....
