Three guitarists. Three perspectives. One legendary sound. This special tribute to Grant Green celebrates the unmistakable groove, soul, and lyricism that defined his music, reimagined by three outstanding players, each offering their own perspective on his legacy. From bebop lines to a deep soul-jazz feel, the guitarists explore Green’s wide expressive range, supported by a tight, swinging rhythm section that delivers the infectious groove and momentum that made his recordings so compelling.
