ALL THESE NEXT 3 TITLES ARE AUDIOPHILE 45 SPEED INDIVIDUALLY LOW NUMBERED 109 TITLE

 ALL ARE Featured as one of the 'Records to Die For' in the February 2011 issue of Stereophile!

Incredible Jazz Records + the original analog master tapes + cut at 45 RPM + mastered by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at AcousTech + pressed on two 180-gram virgin vinyl LPs by RTI = THE ULTIMATE LP REISSUE!

The same formula that made the Fantasy 45 Series perhaps the most successful audiophile reissue collection ever is now being reapplied to Blue Note reissues!

Here's How THE VINYL was done:

Using only the original analog master tapes, the renowned team of Steve Hoffman & Kevin Gray remastered and cut all of the titles at AcousTech Mastering, which features a pure Class-A disc-cutting system. AcousTech is located at Record Technology, Inc. the plant where the vinyl was pressed. It is a tremendous sonic advantage to have the pressing plant plating department & mastering room in the same facility as Steve & Kevin could cut a lacquer and plated immediately. This prevents the degradation of the grooves in a lacquer which is very fragile to quick deterioration.

And of course cutting at 45 speed is the audiophile choice for the highes quality. A 45-RPM record is sonically superior to a 33 1/3 variety because of a 35 percent reduction of groove curvature compared to a 33 1/3 cut.. It means that while you can't fit as much music into a 45, the undukations of the groove that your cartridge has to track are stretched over a longer distance. For these reissues, the music was displaced onto four sides, meaning each side contains about 10 minutes of music.

This is the ultimate reissues. The only way you'll get closer to this classic music is to listen to the master tapes or have been in the studio with the artist originally during the actual session.

One For Elena

 

Our Miss Brooks

 

A Flick of a Trick

 

Falling in Love with Love

 

Baby You Should Know It

 

Reaching Out

THE LATIN BIT

Probably the most well known tune on the release is "mambo inn", made famous by george shearing quintet a few years earlier. While Johnny Acea's piano playing is similar to shearing's, Green's excellent, and long, guitar solo gives the track its own uniqueness. Also included on the LP is a samba version of charlie parker's, "My little Suede Shoes". again, Green takes control of the song, with a few excellent and creative solos but, while Green's nimble and relaxed guitar playing give the LP a spark, it's the backing band that keeps it fresh. Willie Bobo keeps everything steady on the drums, while Potato Valdez on the congas and carvin masseaux on the chekere make the music sound Tremendous.

 FREE OPENED MINT BONUS LP - GEORGE BRAITH WITH GRANT GREEN - TWO SOULS IN ONE  BLUE NOTE RECORDS - 4148 EDITION -  

  - A nice player, although I'm not sure the "two horn thing" was all his idea. Roland Kirk started it, but Braith did a nice job carrying it out. Or at least for the short time he was in fame with his few Blue Note releases.

His sound, at first tends to sound like a scratchy tenor, but after a few listens, it gets appreciated. His compositions are very interesting.

Take the first track here, Mary Ann. When I first spun in it my player, I thought I was at the circus. It turned out to be a nice listen. You can almost not tell when he is soloing. I guess when you solo with two instruments at once, it get's a little stiff. You don't get as much freedom as you would with one at a time. The organ comps make the song! Grant Green takes it out before they go back to the melody. I like Dave Bailey's drumming on this piece. Very original, and fits the piece well.

Next, Home Street. It is in 3/4. Some more of the scratchy tenor sound. Donald Bailey, again, is doing some cool things on the drums. The melody is cool. Very original. It pretty much breaks up any of the boundries that were out at the time, and are out now. This piece swings very well.

The spanish tune that made Ahamad Jamal famous, Poicana comes in after Home Street. The dance of this song is so good. The group takes this song in a new direction. For this piece, the intro melody, is played by Green and Braith, before Braith takes the main melody by himself. Green takes the B section. Billy Gardner is one of those organists that don't get in the way. Grant Green says Larry Young doesn't. Well, true he doesn't get in the way, he does take over the song. Here, organist, Billy Gardner fits right in so well. His comping is magnificent. He makes the mood of the song what it is.

Mary Had A Little Lamb. I love when jazz musicians take obscure songs and turn them into, well respectable ones. This applies here for the appearence of, Mary Had A Little Lamb. This song clearly does not sound what it used to, to me, after listening to this album. They swing it in every which way. Perhaps, the first song on the album that drummer, Dave Bailey is playing a "normal" swing beat. he is so creative. I used to think Shelly Manne was the most musical drummer ever. Well, he still is in my book, but Dave Bailey, so underrated, just delivers such beautiful drumming here on this album. Some rhythms I never heard of, using a, tambourine. (?) This song is hot! Check out Gardners bass line on this song. Fits the song like a match made in heaven. Also, Grant Green's solo is on fire. One of my favorite guitarists. Who would of ever thought Mary Had A Little Lamb could swing!

This album is one of the most loose albums in jazz. Braith-A-Way, is so loose and free. Braith and his cohorts here certainly break all the rules here for this release. With this closing hyme, the group swings this slow blues down home.

In the liner notes, Nat Hentoff states, that Braith will go on to become a major aspect in jazz. Sadly, that was not the case. Braith was practically forgotten right after he made this recording. Maybe if we had more like him, the role of the jazz musician would be even more free than it already is.

Digitally remastered using 20-bit technology by Ron McMaster.
Of all of Grant Green's late-period performances, LIVE AT THE LIGHTHOUSE was arguably the most magical. By 1972 Green was deep into his final funky period of performing extended James Brown-inflected pop material. Here, at the most famous of West Coast jazz venues, the music exploded off the stage for an appreciative audience. Backed by a large group that included Wilton Felder on electric bass, the burning saxophonist Claude Bartee, and female percussionist Bobbye Hall, Green was on fire, ripping out one blistering solo after another.
In his opening remarks, emcee Hank Stewart announces that they are there to "create love through the medium of music." This is a prophetic statement, as Green was clearly a master of expression through his instrument. Though he was often criticized for performing less-than-traditional material, Grant Green transcended style, producing highly musical performances out of works like the pop song "Betcha By Golly Wow." Also included are Donald Byrd's flowing "Fancy Free" and the fiery epic "Jan Jan." Next to being there on that magical occasion, this disc fully realizes for the listener Green performing at his best, even at a time when it seemed his best glory was behind him.

GRANT GREEN STREET FUNK & JAZZ GROOVES ( THE BEST OF )

Blue Note 10 tracks (71:21)
Green was born on June 6, 1931 in St. Louis, Missouri. He first performed in
a professional setting at the age of 13. His early influences were Charlie
Christian and Charlie Parker; however, he played extensive R & B gigs in his
home town and in East Saint Louis, IL while developing his jazz chops. His
first recordings in St. Louis were with tenor saxophonist Jimmy Forrest for
the Delmark label. Lou Donaldson discovered green playing in a bar in St.
Louis. After touring together with Donaldson, Green arrived in New York
around 1959-60. In a Down Beat interview from the early 60's, Green said
"The first thing I learned to play was boogie-woogie. Then I had to do a lot
of rock and roll. It's all blues, anyhow."

Lou Donaldson introduced Green to Alfred Lion of Blue Note Records. Lion was
so impressed that, rather than testing Green as a sideman, as was the usual
Blue Note practice, he arranged for him to record as a bandleader first.
This recording relationship was to last, with a few exceptions, throughout
the 'sixties. From 1961 to 1965 Green made more Blue Note LPs as leader and
sideman than anyone else. Green was named best new star in the Down Beat
critics' poll, 1962. As a result, his influence spread wider than New York.
Green's first session as a leader did not meet the approval of Lion and was
shelved, not to be released until 2002 as First Session. Green's first
issued album as a leader was Grant's First Stand. This was followed in the
same year by two more Blue Note releases: Green Street and Grantstand. He
often provided support to many of other great musicians on Blue Note.

Album notes Personnel: Grant Green (guitar); Claude Bartee (tenor saxophone); William Bivens (vibraphone); Ronnie Foster, Neal Creque (organ); Idris Muhammad (drums); Joseph Armstrong (congas).
Producer: Francis Wolff.
Reissue producer: Bob Belden.
Recorded live at the Cliche Lounge, Newark, New Jersey on August 15, 1970. Originally released on Blue Note (84360). Includes liner notes by Stanley Dance and Bob Belden.
Digitally remastered using 24-bit technology by Kurt Lundvall.
Recorded live in 1970 at the ClichT Lounge in Newark, New Jersey, ALIVE! is Grant Green at his funkiest. Often spurned by critics in his late period for selling out, Green churns out burning riffs and fiery solos on this date, regardless of style. Also making significant contributions to the date are the exceptional organists Neal Creque and Ronnie Foster, saxophonist Claude Bartee, vibraphonist William Bivens, and the irrepressible Idris Muhammad on drums. Whether its raging funk, dreamy Latin, or down-home soul, Green and his men perform with style and flare that is unsurpassed.
Many tracks will be familiar to listeners as the band covers a good many pop songs like Kool & The Gang's "Let The Music Take Your Mind" and the Isley Brothers' "It's Your Thing." While this may seem unforgivable to some, Green's stunningly expressive renditions of Creque's "Time To Remember" and Herbie Hancock's classic "Maiden Voyage" should dissuade all doubts as to where the music was coming from. Sadly, most tracks are faded out before the club's patrons applauded, but plenty of cheers were captured as individual band introductions were made. Indeed, applause was warranted as Green was still in command of his highly regarded style.
