Grant Green’s 1961 album Green Street presented the guitarist in a lean trio setting backed by bass (Ben Tucker) and drums (Dave Bailey). The spare setting & sturdy support created spacious realms for Green to unspool his bluesy lines on originals like “No. 1 Green Street” and showcase his singular tone on Thelonious Monk’s “‘Round About Midnight.” This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
