2 of the grooviest Verve 60s jazz funk sessions on one CD! Grant Green's His Majesty King Funk is a tight quintet session with Larry Young on organ and Harold Vick on tenor, and it grooves with a tightness that matches Green's best Blue Note sessions. The album is reissued here with the tracks in their full versions, and titles include "The Selma March", "Daddy Grapes", and "The Cantaloupe Woman". The record is paired with Donald Byrd's groovy Up album, a record that has his funky trumpet playing with a larger group arranged by Herbie Hancock, that also features some added vocal backing at times. The record has a very tasty version of "Cantaloupe Island", plus the cuts "Blind Man, Blind Man", "Bossa", and "Boom, Boom". Nice groovy 60's material, with 14 cuts in all!
Certain artists are dependable workhorses–you can bet their albums will be great if not classie. Verve's (like Blue Note's) 1960s roster had plenty of these: you may not have gotten the black and orange hot innovations of ABC Impulse, but were in for great hard bop if not straight jazz with some avant guard invention.
This split album of Grant Green and Donald Byrd is case and point. The Green work here presented is workman's jazz funk, featuring the guitarists exquisite take on blues. If new to Green, don't expect a wha wha fest–this was still the mid-1960s, and Green worked wonders with only a hollow body guitar, and a band featuring Larry Young on organ. They work the organic syncopation like a voodoo charm–pretty much the sound Green retained through his career.
Byrd here revs the invention a notch: listen to his take on "Blind Man, Blind Man" where he uses a huge vocal section to add to the blues. These types of vocals were used in "square" music–Bing Crosby, Four Freshman, but Byrd makes them swing and kick. An antiquated technique then, it sounds fresh NOW! due to Byrd's application.
This album may not be well known but if any label were known for music like this, that could never be bad thing.
