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.
I recently bought a 2CD Blue Note set that is very good; "Grant Green, The Complete Quartets with Sonny Clark". BTW: Blue Note has 15 Grant Green CDs listed.
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.
Alexatpos, "Face" had one hit record. It came out in 63 ot 64. It was on Blue Note, and I don't remember the name of the record. Could you give me a list of what's available in Europe. Grant loved Face like a brother.
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
Thanks for the heads up. I just got hold of the three live sets - figuring that they'll cover a fair bit of ground and give me a feel for GG's range. I'm just unwrapping the first one today and hope to spin it up on the commute home. After that I'll work thru the recommended GG studio discs above. Then I'll check out the collaborations you suggest. Lots of listening ahead.
Once again, thanx to all who have taken the time to contribute here.
