Overview
Guitarist Adam Knight leads a quintet in a tribute to the underrated and overshadowed guitarist Grant Green
Grant Green was an underdog of jazz guitar. He might not have been an underdog to fellow jazz musicians…Stanley Turrentine, Hank Mobley, Larry Young, and (repeatedly) Elvin Jones featured him on their recordings.
Due to being overshadowed in his peak years by Wes Montgomery and later by George Benson, and with many of his recordings unissued until years after his death, knowing about Grant Green is a bit like knowing the hip secret handshake. We’ll give you that chance on June 9th at the Coffee Underground!
And you will hear variety! Because Grant was a master at playing hard bop, soul, funk, and R&B…all with a distinctive bluesiness, you’ll get a taste of all that...and even a little bit of latin jazz from some of his lesser known works.
This will be a special event because many of his recordings weren’t released until after his death, his tunes never became jam session or concert standards. So here in Greenville, we’re fortunate to actually hear them in live performance (unlike many other major cities)!
Grant’s band will include Shannon Hoover, Keith Davis, Tim Blackwell, and on a couple pieces Jeff Holland playing latin percussion.3 attendees
