Description
A stellar album from Grant Green very different than most of his other work for Blue Note, and a sly electric groover recorded with vibist Billy Wooten! The sound here is a bit more spacious than some of Grants earlier albums, yet no less funky thanks to a hip undercurrent of soul in the drums, and arrangements from Wade Marcus that keep things fluid throughout. Wootens vibes are wonderful, a ringing counterpoint to Greens great lines on guitar and even the more familiar tunes on the record turn out to be really unique readings here thanks to the arrangements and overall conception. Mellow moments are dripping with plenty of soul, and the funky ones are pretty great too and titles include a killer medley of James Browns I Dont Want Nobody To Give Me Nothing and Cold Sweat, a heavy version of his instrumental groover In The Middle, and a great original called California Green plus Never My Love, Sunrise Sunset, Got To Be There, and If You Really Love Me
