addition perfection based sublimation.
There, where it seems impossible to reach, beyond the garden, where dreams take shape and the mind lets go to a state of another perception. Do just one tool, make it part of himself and at the same time, make the extension of his soul and messenger of the true feelings so deep, it operates from more worthy of shamans. And just as inspired by the highest deity, Grant Green has achieved the unique the sound of guitar in jazz and his music to higher levels unobtainable.
"I do not play much guitar players, only wind instruments. I used to stay overnight at the only copy of Charlie Parker note for note " . Bebop of Charlie Parker, Davis to the use of pauses, phrasing never pushed to the limit, if anything, seasoned by rhythmic movements that are syncopated sound that derives from their ancestral tribute to the sounds of West Africa: this and much more, and Grant Green .
At home in any musical capacity, master essential in 60 quartets in jazz alongside drums, sax and organ, Hammond is with Larry Young, who is the greatest feeling, creating a modern jazz sound fruit perfect alchemy of two souls high.
