Grant Green – Visions (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Grant Green spent the late 1960s and early 1970s navigating Blue Note's pivot toward soul and funk, and *Visions* finds him completely at home in that territory, his single-note lines cutting through the electric groove the way they once cut through hard bop. The all-star rhythm section here, including Chuck Rainey on bass and Idris Muhammad on drums, represents the A-list of New York session royalty from that era.
Grant Green - "Visions (Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series)" [180gram Heavy Vinyl LP] Grant Green embraced R&B and jazz-funk on his 1971 album, Visions, featuring Billy Wooten, Emmanuel Riggins, Chuck Rainey, Idris Muhammad, Ray Armando and Harold Caldwell. The guitarist's distinctive tone and melodicism elevate songs by The Jackson 5, Chicago, The Carpenters, Mozart and Quincy Jones' "Maybe Tomorrow," which was later sampled by Kendrick Lamar. This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series stereo edition is all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
