Grant Green - Green Is Beautiful

Grant Green’s Green Is Beautiful captures the guitarist at a pivotal moment as he leaned into a richer, groove-driven jazz-funk sound at the start of the 1970s. With his unmistakable tone front and center, the album moves effortlessly between soulful originals and inspired reinterpretations, including takes on James Brown’s “Ain’t It Funky Now,” The Beatles’ “A Day in the Life,” and Burt Bacharach’s “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again.”

Part of the Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series, this all-analog edition is mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes and pressed on 180 gram vinyl. It is a vibrant and accessible entry in Grant Green’s catalog, blending jazz sophistication with deep, infectious grooves.
