Grant Green with Sonny Clark - Complete Blue Note Recordings [1990] (4 x CDs)

JAZZ SUNDAY

GRANT GREEN with SONNY CLARK

Grant Green with Sonny Clark - Complete Blue Note Recordings [1990] (4 x CDs)

Guitarist Grant Green and pianist Sonny Clark recorded together on five separate occasions during the 1961-1962 period, but virtually none of the music was released domestically until decades later. These performances were clearly lost in the shuffle, for the solos are of a consistently high quality, and the programs were well-paced and swinging. Now, the long-lost music (much of which had been previously available only in Japan) is saved for posterity on this Mosaic limited-edition four-CD box set. Green and Clark blend together well. Tenor saxophonist Ike Quebec joins their quartet for one session, and the final two numbers add Latin percussion. All of this music should be enjoyed by hard bop fans. Included are the Blue Note albums Gooden's Corner, Nigeria, Oleo, Born to Be Blue (with Ike Quebec), and unissued tracks. (AMG review by Scott Yanow)

  1. Great comp! Grant never quite got the notoriety that Wes Montgomery did, but he's every bit as good of a player. These sessions with Clark rival Wes' with Wynton Kelly. Thanks, BB!

    1. Hi Richard Bock.
      The Mosaic sets are terrific. Very kind of you to offer to download some recordings. I don't have the Ike Quebec 45's Blue Note, so that would be a nice one to have.
      Cheers.
