Grant's First Stand captures the soulful beginnings of jazz guitarist Grant Green, recorded at the iconic Van Gelder Studio in 1961. Marking his maiden release for Blue Note Records, Green’s unmistakable guitar tone is joined by Baby Face Willette on organ and Ben Dixon on drums, weaving bluesy grooves with a swinging energy that set the stage for a storied career.
This edition, remastered by the legendary Rudy Van Gelder from the original analog masters, brings out the full depth and warmth of the trio’s interplay. Featuring a blend of two standards and four originals, Grant's First Stand offers a snapshot of hard bop’s golden years with a relaxed, middle-of-the-road sensibility—an essential listen for fans of classic jazz guitar and organ trio sessions.
