Im feelin it !!!
Blues Bro | Lakewood, Colorado USA | 04/26/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"What an amazing record even by Grant Green standards!!! The long guitar improvisations are filled with deep feelin in every note, not a moment it gets tiresome in here. Herbie Hancock is a revelation in this album, playing down home like I ve never heard him before, what an incredible musician. And if that is not enough you got the great Billy Higgins on drums, what else can you ask for? This is one of the great Grant Green albums, in my top 3."
Green with piano quartets better than funk stuff?
M. SMITH | Music Heaven | 10/09/2005

"Yet another Rudy Van Gelder recorded masterpiece. With so many great Jazz recordings, he should have his own separate filing category under jazz. I like some of Herbie Hancock's albums, but tend to lose interest with his "evolvement". Green's albums I like more for their accessibility. I know too many aficionados who drool over Green's 70's funk, but they miss the complexity of his playing as on these beautiful gems in his piano quartets (other noteworthy albums include "Idle Moments" & "The Complete Quartets with Sonny Clark"). Green's solos include what I think are arpeggios; the rapid note repetition he swirls around you are stunning in their movement of the song. Hancock's genius rests in his accompaniment; his notable piano brushstrokes complement some of Green's most subtle playing (though don't miss his piano solo on "Joshua fit the battle of Jericho"). The mood of the album makes you wonder if it was recorded in one of those legendary Blue Note photographs, with musicians colored in darkness and cigarette smoke. This group gives added meaning to gospel tunes like "Go Down Moses." Billy Higgins, from Ornette Coleman's band, plays drums."
Great Grant!

"Grant Green shines brightly performing Gospel with all of the feeling for the blues.

A underated gutarist that just pumped out great Blue Note album after album.

Anyone not up to Grant Green,this is a great place to start.

There is a great line up and the playing is tight.

If you play guitar and are not familir with Grant then get out and listen.

Funny how the hip hop people have head and sampled away at his music for some time now.

Just listento the samples, you will get it!"
