Green Street is an album by American jazz guitarist Grant Green featuring performances recorded and released on the Blue Note label in 1961. The CD reissue features two alternate takes from the same session as bonus tracks. All compositions by Grant Green except as indicated.

Don't be scared off by the His Majesty King Funk title; this is not Green's later commercial stuff. This is excellent Grant Green with Larry Young on organ, Harold Vick on sax, Ben Dixon on drums, and Candido Camero on conga - essentially a classic four-piece. And this is soul-jazz with a deep groove. His Majesty King Funk is the last of five albums Green recorded with Young. Produced by Creed Taylor, it is the only album Green did for Verve and perhaps his last real jazz album before several years of inactivity, after which he became somewhat more commercial in his approach

This split album of Grant Green and Donald Byrd is case and point. The Green work here presented is workman's jazz funk, featuring the guitarists exquisite take on blues. If new to Green, don't expect a wha wha fest-this was still the mid-1960s, and Green worked wonders with only a hollow body guitar, and a band featuring Larry Young on organ. They work the organic syncopation like a voodoo charm-pretty much the sound Green retained through his career Not exactly. The first album his majesty king funk is grant green near or at the top of his game. It opens with the mid- tempo selma watch which is followed by a jazz standard weep a willow for me which grant of course makes into something all his own. Cantaloupe woman is a staple of grant green best of collections and a welcome addition here.

Hampton Hawes, The Green Leaves of Summer. Don Elliot And His Choir, The Mello Sound.
