Who said he had a rough life? ******
You did. He died young, strung out on drugs and broke. Ooops, almost forgot, he was cheated and made to take drugs by the folks at Blue Note.
***** What's a rough life got to do with his music? *****
On this thread, everything. You don't examine his music so much as feel sorry for him.
***** What the holy smoly does Prince have to do with Grant Green, Since you threw in The Beatles, why quit there, lets throw in the Pope.*****
My way of saying, that if GAME CHANGERS, like Prince, The Beatles and probably every artist that has ever recorded, including Elvis, Chuck Berry and Miles, can have unreleased material, what is the big deal about a run of the mill R&G guitar player from St Louis having the same?
It and he are not that significant. He did not change the direction of Jazz. He was not Charles Christian. Not Miles. Not even Chuck Berry. If he had not lived, how would Jazz be different today? It wouldn't!
Made a few nice albums, but a lot of 'lame' LPs in the 70's. Not my words, professional reviewers say this.
Get over it. He was not that important. He should thank Blue Note.
That's what I meant to say, or words to that effect.
Cheers
