Grant Green Artist Snapshot:

St. Louis-born guitarist Grant Green was a giant of what came to be known as soul-jazz. His singular style incorporated the influences of Gospel, blues, and R&B, and defined a unique post-bop language for electric guitar. His classic early-1960s Blue Note recordings are high-water marks of both the soul-jazz sound and of jazz guitar in general. Drug abuse sadly hampered his later career; he died in 1979, but his son, the jazz guitarist Grant Green, Jr., continues his legacy.

Title Note

Personnel: Grant Green (guitar); Larry Young (organ); Elvin Jones (drums).

Producer: Alfred Lion.

Reissue producer: Michael Cuscuna.

Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on September 11, 1964. Originally released on Blue Note (84183). Includes liner notes by Leonard Feather.

Digitally remastered using 24-bit technology by Ron McMaster.

Grant Green, Larry Young and Elvin Jones, who would later appear together on Young's classic INTO SOMETHIN' session, gel into cohesive trio on Green's rare TALKIN' ABOUT disc from 1964. The three virtuosos burn brightly from the start as they tackle challenging tunes like the opening "Talkin' About J.C." and "Luny Tune." Also, Green's magnificent lyricism is evident on his beautiful reading of the classic "You Don't Know What Love Is." Two unusual choices for the session, however, are "People," long associated with singer Barbara Streisand, and the Johnny Mercer novelty "I'm an Old Cowhand," both of which get delightful performances here as the trio makes creative use of the well-known melodies. For Green fans, this is a welcome addition to any collection.
