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

Alex,

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.

Be carefull of some of his recordings that were"never released" and they just found the long lost tapes and are issueing the recordings. Grant Green had a habit,used to show up @ the studio needing a fix and would lay down some tracks and then disapear. Alfred Lion's stated that is why there is so much stuff that is released after they say they lost the tapes. Some of it is inferior,until Lion's got smart he would front the artist his pay only to have them return all high on smack and the material was sub standard and wasn't worth releasing. Sometimes because Blue Note operated mostly lacking finances an artist would record something very good but the trend for that type of music wasn't selling or the artist's material wasn't selling so it was canned only to be released later. An example of this was Back to the Tracks by Tina Brooks which although the album jacket was shown on Blue Note album inserts was never released. It was later released on Japanese Blue Note if you bought all twelve of their vinyl re issues in the mid 80's. Each reissue had a ticket and if you sent all 12 in you were sent Back to the Tracks. It was then included in a Tina Brooks Mosiac box set and now is available on CD.

Qdrone, this is about Grant Greens music; it wasn't necessary for us to know about Grant Greens habit.

Qdrone, could you name the stuff to avoid, I would like to buy it.
