Grant Green - Grant's First Stand flac album

Grant's First Stand is the debut album by American jazz guitarist Grant Green featuring performances by Green recorded and released on the Blue Note label in 1961. Earlier recordings made by Green for Blue Note were released as First Session in 2001.

Though Grant’s First Stand was guitarist Grant Green’s maiden release for Blue Note Records it wasn’t his debut recording session for the famous New York jazz label. The St Louis guitarist had, in fact, gone into Rudy Van Gelder’s legendary studio at Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey – where Blue Note did the majority of their recordings from 1959 onwards – on two previous occasions. For some reason, however, the music recorded on two days across October and November 1960 was shelved

Grant Green's debut album, Grant's First Stand, still ranks as one of his greatest pure soul-jazz outings, a set of killer grooves laid down by a hard-swinging organ trio. For having such a small lineup - just organist Baby Face Willette and drummer Ben Dixon - the group cooks up quite a bit of power, really sinking its teeth into the storming up-tempo numbers, and swinging loose and easy on the ballads. This same trio performed together on Willette's Stop and Listen album, with equally heated results. None of Green's contemporaries used the single-note style (Green rarely played chords, leaving that to the organ or piano) to quite the same degree, making him a unique voice on his instrument. And his terrific debut pegged him as an up-and-comer to watch closely.

Grant's First Stand would be Green's debut effort as a leader for Blue Note in the organ trio format that provided fodder for most of his early recordings. Obscure organist "Baby Face" Willette and drummer Ben Dixon make up this most congenial group and things get off to a fine start with the full-tilt energy of "Miss Ann's Tempo. And although none of them would become standards, Green's three originals are catchy and yet meaty enough to provide each soloist with a firm basis for improvisation. Another set that has taken far too long to appear on compact disc, Grant's First Stand fills in the details of Green's early Blue Note activity quite nicely, while also adding considerably to the meager catalog's of Willette and Dixon
