Grant Green

2 LP ON 1 CD

This release Includes the complete albums "Space Flight"(Argo 1960) and "Iron City!" (Cobblestone 1967), which was Green's only record between 1965's "His Majesty, King Funk", his only album for Verve, and 1969's "Carryin' On", his return to Blue Note. "Iron City"captures the guitarist in fine form, jamming on six blues and R&B numbers with his longtime cohorts, organist Big John Patton and drummer Ben Dixon. The trio members had long ago perfected their interplay, and they just cook on Iron City, working a hot groove on each song". (AMG)
