Blue Note Tone Poet Series / 180gr. |
| | Description: | Grant Greenâ??s Nigeria is an under-recognized gem in the guitaristâ??s remarkable Blue Note catalog. Recorded in 1962, but not first released until 1980, the album features a top-shelf band with Sonny Clark on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and, in one of his only appearances with Green, Art Blakey on drums. The groove is deep and wide right from the start on the Sonny Rollins classic â??Aireginâ? followed by a version of the Gershwin standard â??It Ainâ??t Necessarily Soâ? for the ages with Blakey stoking the fire with his powerhouse drumming and verbal shouts. Side B presents timeless renditions of 3 more standards: â??I Concentrate On You,â? â??The Things We Did Last Summer,â? and â??The Song Is You.â?
