Happy birthday to Paul Bollenback and JazzCorner roster saxophonist John Richmond. We remember Al Grey, Jimmy Lunceford and the great Grant Green, one of the great unsung heroes of jazz guitar. He combined an extensive foundation in R&B with a mastery of bebop and simplicity that put expressiveness ahead of technical expertise. Green was a superb blues interpreter, and while his later material was predominantly blues and R&B, he was also a wondrous ballad and standards soloist. He was a particular admirer of Charlie Parker, and his phrasing often reflected it. Grant Green - Blue Note Records Jimmy Smith - Verve Records Donald Bailey
