{"product_id":"grant-green-green-is-beautiful-lp-vinyl","title":"Grant Green – Green Is Beautiful","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrant Green spent much of the 1960s as one of Blue Note's most recorded guitarists, bringing a single-note, horn-like approach to hard bop and soul jazz before finding his footing in the funk-drenched sounds that defined the label's early 1970s output. Recorded in 1970, *Green Is Beautiful* captures that pivot perfectly, pairing his lean, unhurried phrasing with a rhythm section built for the dancefloor without ever losing the harmonic depth that made him essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLimited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Grant Green's musical style evolved to embrace jazz-funk as the decade turned to 1970. The guitarist's vibrant album Green Is Beautiful is a highlight of the era. With his distinctive tone, he shines on a set that includes covers of James Brown (\"Ain't It Funky Now\"), The Beatles (\"A Day In The Life\") and Burt Bacharach (\"I'll Never Fall In Love Again\"). Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series is all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Ain't It Funky Now (9:57)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. A Day In The Life (8:55)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. The Windjammer (5:40)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. I'll Never Fall In Love Again (6:40)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Dracula (6:03)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 602448595454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Note Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.20.23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Note (4859545, 00602448595454, BST 84342, 84342); UMe (4859545, 00602448595454)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Worldwide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 Ain't It Funky Now – 9:57\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 A Day In The Life – 8:55\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 The Windjammer – 5:40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 I'll Never Fall In Love Again – 6:40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB3 Dracula – 6:03\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRichard Lendrum – Bongos (Bongo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCandido – Congas (Conga)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBob Venosa – Cover, Illustration, Design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdris Muhammad – Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJimmy Lewis (2) – Electric Bass (Fender Bass)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrant Green – Guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKevin Gray – Lacquer Cut By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMorton Roth – Liner Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKevin Gray – Mastered By (LP Mastering)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmmanuel Riggins – Organ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeal Creque – Organ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrancis Wolff – Producer (Produced By)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRudy Van Gelder – Recorded By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClaude Bartee – Tenor Saxophone (Tenor Sax)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Mitchell – Trumpet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54554765525310,"sku":"382304","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12635161329982-transparent-v2.png?v=1791436204","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/grant-green-green-is-beautiful-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
