Guitarist Grant Green: "Feelin' The Sprit"

from CiTR -- The Jazz Show · host CiTR 101.9 Vancouver

This album is The Jazz Show's final tribute to Black History Month. Judging from the album title: "Feelin' The Spirit"; this may give you more than a clue as to the album's content. It is an instrumental interpretation of what are traditionally known as "Negro Spirituals". Most of these songs were written before the abolition of slavery in the USA and provided Black people some solace and hope for eventual liberation. They are all songs that most people Black or white know and these are open instrumental interpretations of these beautiful melodies by the great guitarist Grant Green. Mr. Green has the redoubtable Herbie Hancock on piano, Edward "Butch" Warren on bass and Billy Higgins on drums and on three of the six selections, Garvin Masseaux on tambourine. This is just one of the many fine Blue Note recordings by one of the premier guitarists in Jazz history but "Feelin' The Spirit" is especially appropriate to our final tribute to Black History Month.
