If I had to pick my one favorite guitarist, Grant Green is the one. I've played his albums "Idle Moments" and "Grantstand" probably 1,000 times, and I love them as much now as I did when I first bought them about 50 years ago or so.
Grant had a refreshing, clean and creative approach to soloing that inspires me best. Barney was aggressive and exploring but a bit dirty. Kenny was the super-duper technical, soloist guru.
@@lajavaantoine2796 The song was written by trombonist Tyree Glenn and was recorded under the title, "Working Eyes." When Tyree went with Duke's band, the title became "Sultry Serenade."
Absolutely beautiful. Most Rhythm Changes performances by the great jazz masters are way way too fast for my taste (I know everyone's taste is different but I just can't follow the music at the high speed that Rhythm Changes pieces are often played at and I don't really enjoy listening to them, even if they're from brilliant artists that I normally love), I just prefer this slower tempo, the solos always sound better to me over a slower tempo. So I'm really glad to find this, especially from the exxcellent Grant Green! I will add this to my list for a bit of transcription!
The title of the damn video is based on a series of chord changes penned by George Gershwin decades before this video was written. You could make the argument that this is highly unoriginal. Terms based on individual values and beliefs are inherently subjective. This statement isn’t, though: you’re old.
@@rob1389 I would bet anything that both you and the original commenter are 50+. Regardless of how old they are the sentiment is the same. Music constantly changes and evolves, and most people who say stuff like "when music was original" make no effort to educate themselves on the newer music. Great music is released every year.
@@CL-vx9dr How on earth do you draw conclusions about my age from the comment that I've written there? That's ridiculous. By the way, I totally agree that great music is released every year. But people's tastes differ, and not everyone likes the same music as everyone else. Have a great day.
