HMV Review

Grant Green's third album to be released, Grantstand teams the clear-toned guitarist with an unlikely backing group of musicians who rarely appeared with Blue Note otherwise: tenor saxophonist Yusef Lateef (who doubles on flute), organist Brother Jack McDuff, and drummer Al Harewood. Although Lateef was beginning to delve deeply into Eastern tonalities and instruments around the same time, his playing here is pretty straightforward and swinging, fitting the relaxed, bop-tinged soul-jazz that makes up most of the session. For his part, McDuff is mellower than his usual ferocious self, laying back and swinging with a blissful ease. Green contributes two bluesy originals, the nine-minute title track and the 15-minute Blues in Maude's Flat, which are turned into loose, loping jams that rank as some of the best examples of Green's ability to work an extended groove. (The CD bonus track, Green's Greenery, is in much the same vein, though not as long.) Elsewhere, Green leads a delicate, sensitive exploration of My Funny Valentine that ended up as his greatest standard performance to date, setting the stage for a great deal more work in this vein that was soon to be forthcoming (including his brilliant sessions with Sonny Clark). Still, the groove is what reigns supreme for most of the album; if you're looking for Green the soul-jazz groovemaster, Grantstand is an excellent place to find him. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

    ソウルフルなグリーンのギターが、いつものシングル・トーンを展開する名盤。名バラード「オールド・フォークス」では、グリーンの哀愁を帯びたギターの音色が、切なくメロディを奏でる。スタンダード「マイ・ファニー・バレンタイン」では、ラティーフのフルートが彩りを添えるが、ユセフ・ラティーフのブルーノート盤参加というのも、希少か。

    適度なブルースっぽさ、適度なハードさ。飽きない名作。オルガンジャズはやたらとブルースばかりやったり、ゴスペル調だったりするが、次元の違いを見せつける。

    やっと出たリマスター盤! LPも最初のCDも持ってるけど、また買いたい傑作盤。天下のジャック・マクダフをサイドメンに迎え、ブルースの神髄を聴かせてくれる漆黒の内容。“ジャズは黒人音楽だ!”との本筋をわきまえている人なら、絶対持っていなくてはならない、必携の名盤デス!!
