Thats a wonderful story. Thanks!
The interesting thing about Grant Greens playing is, that cat never or rarely played chords! He was a single note playin kind of a guy.
I wish I could find an authentic PLAYABLE Grant Green record.His albums are on the unobtanium list. Very difficult to find.
Wes..A few of the "young and upcoming" who were lucky to be in the presence of "the thumb"
George Benson
Larry Coryell
Pat Matheny
As a teen, my guitar lessons were in an old music shop,upstairs studio. During break, my instructor and I would listen to "the thumb" in their audio dept(a music store-instruments,records AND HiFi gear)
The owner encouraged us to listen to music other than "those Beatles" He was from the WWI generation and would tell us about "the scene" in old LA-Charlie Parker in one club and down the block some other major talent in another club.
Biile and Dinah Washington also regulars. WOW!
I would just smile and feign interest. As a teenager, I just didn’t "get it" Way over my head as to the significance Western Ave had on west coast Jazz.
This was how I got introduced to Jazz. I’m forever indebted to my instructor and the store owner.
