Green Is Beautiful

Grant Greens musical style evolved to embrace jazz-funk as the decade turned to 1970. The guitarists vibrant album Green Is Beautiful is a highlight of the era with his distinctive tone shining on a set that included covers of James Brown (Aint It Funky Now), The Beatles (A Day In The Life) & Burt Bacharach (Ill Never Fall In Love Again).

This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
