I admit I knew very little about jazz when I first started researching Grant Green's life and know just a little bit more now. I feel like it could take several lifetimes to truly appreciate this mad treasury of music. Craziest thing...I am finally allowing myself to fully enjoy it this music we call jazz. My biggest discovery is that it is a most polite music. If Sesame Street were to ever do a segment on the act of sharing, they could pick this music to demonstrate it. They could show how every musician gets his (or her) turn at some point. Well, sometimes. Some songs call for more soloing than others and some people just don't like to share...I had a blast doing this book and am taking my time going through the CDs I have accumulated in the process of research. Shamefully, most are on Blue Note. And that may be, in part, because I love the label's history, its characters and yes, its music. Grant was a big part of that music. Please check out his life.
