#NowPlaying Grant Green - Alive! (Blue Note, 1970). Recorded live at the Cliché Lounge, Newark, NJ on 8/15/1970. Jazz-funk (or is it funky jazz?) was my gateway from hip-hop to jazz. The closing track Down Here On The Ground is instantly recognizable from the sample on A Tribe Called Quest - Vibes and Stuff. Anything with Idris Muhammad on drums is worth listening to. #jazz#funk#hiphop#GrantGreen@vinylrecords
@BEK97@vinylrecords Will be checking this one out. Seems like #GrantGreen flies under the radar. #WalterBecker namechecked him as a massive influence. That was enough for me. Green is a real one.
