About Grant Green
Grant Green (1935–1979) was a pioneering jazz guitarist whose unique sound combined blues, bebop, soul, and gospel influences. Born in St. Louis, Green rose to prominence in the 1960s through his work with Blue Note Records, where he became one of the most recorded artists in the label’s history. Known for his fluid, melodic phrasing and unmistakable groove, Green’s playing bridged the gap between hard bop and soul-jazz, leaving a legacy that continues to inspire generations of musicians. His signature works include Idle Moments, Green Street, and Grant stand.
