Grant Green was an American jazz guitarist and composer. He was born on 6 June 1935 in St. Louis, Missouri, USA and passed away on 31 January 1979 in New York, New York, USA at the age of 43.
Green is renowned for his unique style and innovative approach to jazz guitar. His smooth playing and soulful sound captivated audiences worldwide. With a career spanning several decades, he released numerous albums that showcased his virtuosity and creativity.
Throughout his life, Grant Green collaborated with many notable musicians including Lee Morgan, Herbie Hancock, and McCoy Tyner. His contributions to the jazz genre continue to inspire aspiring musicians today.

Grant Green’s 1962 album Born To Be Blue featuring Ike Quebec is often thought of as the sister album to Quebec’s classic Blue and Sentimental, which was recorded for Blue Note just 3 months prior and also showcased the deep chemistry between the soulful guitarist and tenor saxophonist. Quebec’s deep, soul-drenched tenor sound matches beautifully with hard bop masters Green and pianist Sonny Clark, along with the tried-and-true rhythm section team of Sam Jones and Louis Hayes.
