Grant Green (
June 6th[?],
1931,
St. Louis,
MO -
January 31,
1979,
New York City,
NY) is one of the most overlooked of
jazz guitar players. Green almost exclusively record for
Blue Note Records, recording some of the best
guitar driven
Hard bop,
Soul-Jazz[?], and
Bebop of the
1960s.
Like many African-American jazz musicians at the time, drug use disrupted his career and most likely led to the health problems that killed him in 1979.
