A stellar album from Grant Green – very different than most of his other work for Blue Note, and a sly electric groover recorded with vibist Billy Wooten! The sound here is a bit more spacious than some of Grant’s earlier albums, yet no less funky – thanks to a hip undercurrent of soul in the drums, and arrangements from Wade Marcus that keep things fluid throughout. Wooten’s vibes are wonderful, a ringing counterpoint to Green’s great lines on guitar – and even the more familiar tunes on the record turn out to be really unique readings here – thanks to the arrangements and overall conception. Mellow moments are dripping with plenty of soul, and the funky ones are pretty great too – and titles include a killer medley of James Brown’s “I Don’t Want Nobody To Give Me Nothing” and “Cold Sweat”, a heavy version of his instrumental groover “In The Middle”, and a great original called “California Green” – plus “Never My Love”, “Sunrise Sunset”, “Got To Be There”, and “If You Really Love Me”
