HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- This footage was recorded for French TV but was never broadcast. It is uncut and unedited ..Filmed in France at Maison de la Radio in 1969, with Larry Ridley on bass and Don Lamond on drums.
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth and the Funk,,,,Many were called to play and preach the Funk to distant lands ,but only few were chosen,,,Thank to God Brother Green was chosen and continues to spread the Funk to this day,,,,,
these men play live, play in the studio, nothing changes, they always remain geniuses
Finding this has been my #1 best internet experience ever! My all time favorite musician!
Same here:)
I also am thrilled to hear and. See this footage. Made my year
Something awe to take
the focus off all the craps in the world. Grant, Wes, & Kenny....
I just watched Kenny Burrell subway trio....another gem. check it out
I could listen to Grant Green play the guitar all day long. He plays with such soul
A true master at work, blown away by his music to this day, I never get tired of listening
So honest, without effects or special tricks! He just plays jazz coming out of his heart. True musicianship!
My god, where did this emerge from? I've been waiting for a Grant Green video for years. This must be the first time most people including myself have ever seen him play properly (for more than the 30 seconds clip on youtube) till now.
Where it came from is a secret :-) ... All we need now is a video of Larry Young from the 1960's!! :-) - Bob
Agree. And if a Grant Green video emerges from his funk period I will........ oh but that's asking too much.
Yeah! ... Let's hope this stimulates others to put stuff up... That's one of the main ideas of my channel
Check out the documentary that just came out! They unearthed some insane quality footage they show clips of in the beginning. I'm hoping the family can reach a point of commercial DVD release that includes the uncut stuff!
I feel totally different about him now...like I know him better than before.
Excellent you have done a great service to all jazz fans by posting this historic session Thank You
I'm a jazz guitarists who playing the bars in St Louis MO in the Mid 1980,s. And in walked a lady who said I sounded like Grant. She was a girlfriend of his. What a hell of a compliment
no, that didn't happen.
Great compliment/ Grant Green could say more with fewer notes than a thousand guitarists !!!###
Wow! That’s rad! I’d be stoked to get a compliment like that.
When I was younger, I played a lot of blues jam sessions. My mom and stepdad used to come watch me play sometimes. One day, after I had lent my mom a recording of Albert Collins, I came over to her house and she had it playing. She said, “this guy sounds like you!“ To this day, one of the best compliments I ever got from anyone.
@@VinnyCarwash-js8opwhy?
Amen bro, let me know when you're in the Big Apple brother !!
I have been playing jazz guitar for over 15 years only because of him, thank you
unbelievable! Grant has been my fav guitarist for 15+ years and I never thought I'd see video of him really playing...thank you, thank you for posting.
One of my favorite guitar players ever
The bass on the first tune blows my mind every time I listen to it, fuck it's good.
He was an awesome guitar player with his style of playing jazz and blues music as we call it. Kenneth Williams
Grant Green is one of a kind. His uniqueness is sublime. He sings
This is one of the best shot guitar clips I've ever seen, love how you can really see his hands at work...
The legend Grant Green. I wish I could see him play live.
I've been preaching Grant Green for years (even got a GG tee shirt). This is wonderful film of his trio. I agree that Grant Green and Wes Montgomery are THE guitarists. In a very different vein, I like John McLaughlin. But for me, Grant Green is top of the heap.
Got a Grant Green T-shirt too! 😂
Awesome, thanks for posting. And, thanks due to the first camera person in the history of live music who didn't deserve taking outside and beating to death with a Telecaster. "Guitar solo... cut to the drummer!"
Or the bass-player's foot :-)
He made a song for my mother Willarene rip man thanks
to all the green heads out there, I've watched 4 times straight....now I
can SEE not just listening.....his naturalness transcends time, and his inventiveness is souly
Unique....personally I only listen to three guitarists......grant: wes: Kenny....there my core three....kings. And i hope y'all watched Kenny trio subway....beautiful, and. Wes 1965... Magnificent. Let me know.....mitch baron
wow! tone, tone, tone!!! Thank you!
This is really nice and all too rare, I mean if anyone out there is sittin' on some 70's footage... say Club Mozambique era they are gonna be my new best friend and a lot of other peep's too.
That version of "How Insensitive" at 9:12 is just magic all the way through. Starts off so quietly, and builds in intensity -- he plays some really fast stuff, beautifully chosen notes -- and back to the quiet. Mastery
So this is where Pat Metheny patterned his version of 'H.Insensitive'
Yes. Very nice version. Great selection.
As a brazilian myself it was pretty incredible to see him playing such a masterpiece like Insensatez, from the great maestro Tom Jobim, caught me by surprise to say the least!
Oh, it's great, very very wonderful !!! Thank you so much !!!
This is why George Benson has always heralded Grant Green as one of the greats and one of his greatest influences. So great to see this footage.
Thank you for share.
It was recorded Maison de la radio
Amazing this is why I play guitar. One of the first albums I owned was Idle Moments and the rest is history. The only other video I have seen is from the Legends of Jazz Guitar. Thank you for posting.
Amazing video! Thanks for sharing. This is a masterclass for guitar players like me!
Thank you for posting this gem 🙏
so impressive talent
one of my best of the best guitarist
SIR GRANT GREEN.
Uno de los más grandes. Oyes a Grant Green y sabes que es él. Eso define a un gran músico.
¿Tocas la guitarra Gerardo?......
Wonderful. Beautiful. Thank you.
THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND.
I would love to have heard him in a funkier trip or Even a quartet with Cornell Dupree on rhythm guitar
Bernard Purdie
Chuck Rainey
These guys are great on the seeing but fall short on that ole funky feeling.
I love Grant's style.
I just love the way he brought the funk to the jazz gig did not mess around with it
Hundred percents heart&soul, so amazing
Fántastico, que gran musicalidad tiene este guitarrista. Gracias por compartir.
Grant Green is on the top of my list.
Awesome, the more i listen to Grant , the more he sounds like a horn player. You can see where his influence comes from.
Grant used comparatively few chords in his playing. In this trio performance, since there isn't another polyphonic chordal instrument like a piano, he is actually comping more than normal. But Green's approach was much more like a horn player than a pianist, most of the time.
Wow!! This is Gold!! Thx for posting! I love me some Grant Green!!
Still my favorite funky jazz player.
Thanks so much for putting this online!
So many great Tunes he was featured on idle moments Here tis just a few where he was great.
This is what makes RUclips worth it's weight in gold. You should have the president of your choice give you the National Medal of Honor for posting this. Grant should have put an Idaho potato on that drum stool and pocketed the $250.
this starts out like da bomb
Priceless! Thanks for posting this.
AMAZING!!! LEGEND!!!
Thanks!!! Grant Green in video at last!!!
Beautiful man, thanks for sharing!
AWESOME!!! Thanks for sharing!
Long live Grant Green!! 🎼🎸🎼
So much style.
AMEN!! Thank you!! xx
Warms my heart!
swingin!! thanks for posting! :-)
How have I never seen this???!!!
thanks a lot
awesome!!!🙌
Amazing !
Grant was that guy!
The definition of cool.
Hermoso, Emocionante
Wow! This is something special and on a flattop?
fantastico!
Wow! Thank you so much!
Thank You Bob the Juke !!!
George Benson and Rick Beato sent me here!
he got the groove
Long spected Grant's video
YEAH!!!
👏 👏 👏
Great to hear the performance starting off on his then version of James Brown's "I don't want nobody..." as there's a high probability this was recorded in the Olympia, a place the Godfather set on fire.
Remember the concerts at Masonic Temple
oh hell yes
cool!
What to say, other than thank you.
you can tell that back then guys came up putting on a show it was the way today they just load it all onto the net like head masturbation and this is what its all about living in the moment with your individuality
Epiphone
Charlie Christian influence ... I love
This is George Benson's favorite guitar player
larry ridley can fuckin play
can someone please provide the list of songs played?
See above Will.
rbrtrt67 i cant find what you're talking about on my phone. can you resend it in this feed please?
I Don't Want Nobody - from Carryin On (James Brown)
Oleo - From The Complete Quartets with Sonny Clark (Sonny Rollins)
How Insensitive - (Jobim) no other Green recording of this that I know of
G Blues - don't know if this is a known Blues or a Green original. I have read some think it's Kenny Burrell's song All Day Long as recorded by Green on Rusty Bryant's album Rusty Returns, but it sounds different to me.
Sonnymoon For Two (F Blues) (Sonny Rollins)
And Will this Paris concert is about to be released in April on Resonance Records, along with some other live stuff from a year later in France recorded at the Antibes Jazz Festival!!!
rbrtrt67 thank you.how insensitive is definitely my favourite. was looking all over the place trying to get the name. definitely going to try get a copy come April. where did you get the info from?!
With all due Respect for those many great Jazz Guitarists out there who play(ed) perhaps faster & more complex technically, Mr. Grant Green & Wes Montgomery are the two guys I would rather listen to than any of the rest of them.
today i was thinking about that hahhahahha then i read your coment
When you reach a high plateau of playing...it depends largely on the setting, the date & the support cast. I heard the bi-centennial concert at Carnegie Hall: Kenny Burrell, Jim Hall & Tal Farlow. It was a bit disappointing, as I'd heard all doing much more memorable playing both previous & later (I think Jim Hall did the best of the 3, but Burrell is my favorite...for a long time); One 'new' guy is Russell Malone...sounds much like a combination of Johnny Smith & Burrell (you don't get much better than that!) And, of course...a must is to listen to Django...an awful lot came from there!
Charlie Christian, Eddie Lang, Lonnie Johnson, and Django Reinhardt are among my other favorites.
Hello what about Barney kessell tal falow Freddie green
I agree with Jimmy. Well said.
00:00 I Don't Want Nobody to Give me Nothing (thanks Sean Graham)
04:45 Oleo
09:12 Insensatez
16:18 Blues in G (?)
25:00 Sonnymoon For Two (Thanks Harry)
Gab Martins Thank you!
25 is Sonnymoon for two by Sonny Rollins. Grant is playing it in F instead of Bb
That's quite a different 'Final Comedown' to the '72 soundtrack one.
First track doesn't sound like "Final Comedown". It's "I Don't Want Nobody to Give Me Nothing" was recorded by Grant on the LP "Carryin On".
Agreed. It definitely is
FYI, it was filmed at the Maison de la radio in Paris (French public radio building).
Broadcasted Sunday 26th, october 1969 (according to the Institut national de l'audiovisuel, INA).
Also on France Inter radio the 27 december 1969.
These recording were recently released as Funk in France: Paris to Antibes 1969-1970 2 LP set. 3000 copies printed.
Thank You! In 1966, I started playin the broom after hearing "Feelin' The Spirit" by Grant on Blue Note.
Soon thereafter Mom got my brother and I a used guitar.
I took a few lessons with George Benson in Harlem. He had EVERY Grant Green Album.
Inazuma Wow that’s incredible! What was George Benson like?
@@shawndimery Probably still had his big nose and lips then before he thought they would hurt his career!
Every day im reminded i was born far too late
Wow !!! My favorite guitarist of all time. You don't realize how rare this video is. I've searched for years for any video of Grant. Read his book if you get a chance. Thank you sooooo much !!!!
Well I named my son (who was born in 1966) after him .. So I guess you could say I've been on board here a long time :-) ... Have you seen the other concert BYW with Green Kessel and Burrell and the same bass and drums that I put up around the same time ... Here's the link ruclips.net/video/_4jMQNJFPO4/видео.html
Amazing to see him playing a brazilian song like Insensatez from the great maestro Tom Jobim, at 9:12 it really makes me proud of being a Brazilian.
I love Brasilian music. When ever I try to learn a song, I always try to make Samba version of it 😂
It’s because of Grant that I’m in a guitar center parking lot waiting for them to open to start looking at jazz guitars. Thank you for your influence decades past.
Do you have an idea what you’d like to purchase.
You won’t find any there
@@Noejjkkkj already got it and has been playing beautifully
He just knows how to sing with his guitar. This is one of the most precious things on the internet! Thank you endlessly for sharing. Grant Green is my absolute all time favourite and I have spent countless hours learning how to play every single note.
This just exceeds my expectations. He has been underappreciated, I think. Really a stunning talent.
pure shit.. terrible playing..basic shit and all over the place..rubbish
@@bernarddover1442 go away trol!
@@bernarddover1442 Can you post some of your own playing so we can make a comparison ?
@@bernarddover1442 he cant play anything but with his little pecker
P
Grant Green, the groove master!
Yea, the man swings it like no other!!
To complete the circle, Grant Green was considered the father of "Acid Jazz" or "Club Jazz" a term referring to the fusion of funk, jazz, soul and later, disco, it makes perfect sense that Grant left the hospital against doctors orders, to go back on the road, and died in his car of a heart attack between sets he was playing at George Benson's Breezing Lounge in New York City on Jan. 31, 1979,. His signature tone was achieved by rolling treble and bass off his amp and cranking the mid range. So there you have it, from Christian to Grant to Benson,.
That's vital information to have😮😮😮. And you're correct in the time line of jazzy to rhythm and blues combining.
Grant Green was one of the greatest guitarists of all time regardless of musical genre he is the forgotten genius of the jazz guitar I would put him in the same class as Django Reinhardt Charlie Christian Wes Mongomery Kenny Burrell etc
Amen brother! Would you add Benson to that list?
@@daniellurman9093 and Pat Martino
and Joe Pass
And Herb Ellis, Barney Kessel, and Jim Hall
The great George Benson cited Grant Green as a big influence in his music. You can really hear it. This is awesome!
Wes Montgomery and Glenn Campbell attended Grant's shows, and both always talked about how good he was.
Amazing. Before I was born someone was playing this music. Im saddened that it took 40+ years before my guitar lead me to this music. But now Im in neck deep. Of course once again saddened because I live in a small shallow minded town where there's nobody I can experiment or play this music with. But it's ok. Because I have youtube so I get to play with all of them, from grant Green, Robben Ford, Miles Davis, John Scofield, and others anytime I want.
I understand Completely.
This is so rare. seeing Grant Green, just the most wonderful guitarist, big influence on me.
Grant was magnificent.
I do absolutely agree.
@ Bob the Juke: This is wonderful! Thank you for posting it. I'd never heard the amazing Grant Green in such a setting before. It's rare to find him in a trio with just bass and drums, and he plays in a way not typical for him, using more chords and chord fragments than usual, and with more drive than some performances from this era. Fabulous performance by all three musicians.....
I love Grsnt Green. So bluesy, such great LINES!!! I think the reason he is underrated is because Wes was SUCH a GIANT that he overshadowed everyone else. Much like Bird and Trane overshadowed everyone on the sax. What was it that Wes brought that no one else did? The development of his solos from single line, to octaves to full on chordal improvising. Redefining the way the guitar could be played. Much like Jimi did with Rock guitar.. But, Grant Green had a unique, bluesy, singing sound on guitar that was absolutely awesome! He would have been revered if he had lived longer.
Wow.,... his guitar sounds like....a guitar !!!
Hands down my favorite guitarist ever.
in my top 5 for sure
How can he play if he puts his hands down?
Right there w you
He puts them down on the guitar!
Yep, mine too.
