Delightful and at times inspiring.......2006-11-29

I bought this album after hearing "Jericho" on radio, and while I agree with some of the reservations expressed in the other reviews about the quality of Green's performance in these sessions, I found this album surprisingly satisfying. Overall, Green's work is very solid, and often inspired (though at times, admittedly, repetitive). But what really makes the album swing is Grant's backup cast, which picks up energetically wherever Green leaves off. In particular, Green's pianist for the album, a young Herbie Hancock, stands out on nearly all the tracks, and at times nearly steals the show from Green. Green's synergy with his band, and the obvious inspiration that all the players drew from the spirituals that make up the musical core of this record, are well worth owning and listening to repeatedly, and they hold up well to the test of time with many of the era's best sessions.

Great Grant!.......2006-06-24

Grant Green shines brightly performing Gospel with all of the feeling for the blues.
A underated gutarist that just pumped out great Blue Note album after album.
Anyone not up to Grant Green,this is a great place to start.
There is a great line up and the playing is tight.
If you play guitar and are not familir with Grant then get out and listen.
Funny how the hip hop people have head and sampled away at his music for some time now.
Just listento the samples, you will get it!

Grant does Spirituals.......2005-10-27

This is Grant Green and Herbie Hancock doing another of Grant's theme albums, with the theme here being Spirituals. (Sunday Mornin' is the Gospel inspired album.) Anyway, its not straight ahead jazz, but Grant and Herbie play beautifully. And the music is very accessible. If you like Spirituals, you will like this cd, and Grant's albums like this are also a great introduction to jazz guitar music.

Green with piano quartets better than funk stuff?.......2005-10-09

Yet another Rudy Van Gelder recorded masterpiece. With so many great Jazz recordings, he should have his own separate filing category under jazz. I like some of Herbie Hancock's albums, but tend to lose interest with his "evolvement". Green's albums I like more for there accessibility. I know a lot guys who drool over the funk 70's Green, but I often think they miss the complexity of his playing as on these beautiful gems in his piano quartets (other noteworthy albums include "Idle Moments" & "The Complete Quartets with Sonny Clark"). Green's solos include what I think are arpeggios; the rapid note repetition he swirls around you are stunning in their movement of the song. Hancock's genius rests in his accompaniment; his notable piano brushstrokes complement some of Green's most subtle playing (though don't miss his piano solo on "Joshua fit the battle of Jericho"). The mood of the album makes you wonder if it was recorded in one of those legendary Blue Note photographs, with musicians surrounded in pitch darkness and cigarette smoke. This group gives added meaning to these gospel tunes ("Go Down Moses"). Billy Higgins, from Ornette Coleman's band, plays drums.

Im feelin it !!!.......2005-04-27

What an amazing record even by Grant Green standards!!! The long guitar improvisations are filled with deep feelin in every note, not a moment it gets tiresome in here. Herbie Hancock is a revelation in this album, playing down home like I ve never heard him before, what an incredible musician. And if that is not enough you got the great Billy Higgins on drums, what else can you ask for? This is one of the great Grant Green albums, in my top 3.

Wrong Track Samples.......2003-11-02

Message to Amazon: The samples provided are from some other (non-jazz) album.

This is one of Grant's best albums. Swinging, cool, funky interpretations of gospel standards. Damn fine stuff.

Essential Green.......2002-08-09

This recording from 1962 is one of 3 in serie that Grant did.
There is Latin Bit where he played Latin songs,there is Goin West where he played old "western" songs and finally there is this on which focused on gospel music. The only one that is not available (to my knowledge) on a CD is the somewhat obscure "Goin West" which have the same line up of musicians as "Fewelin teh Spirit" ,I have "Goin West on a vinyl
The album starts off with probably the most funky version ever done of "A closer walk with thee" Hancocks piano is "cookin" behind Green and keeps things going, I have always been amazed by Greens time.. and this tune is a good example of how he could dig deeper and deeper into the groove by changing his way of playing against the pulse. Another highlight is "Nobody knows" that is played as a blues,,it is a very touching version.where Herbie Hancocks pianoplaying behind Green almost "steals the show"
The whole album is very relaxed, smooth and at the same time groovy.
Greens tone is wonderful...clear mellow soulful...
Now I just hope that we will get "Goin West" on CD as well.

Testify!.......2001-06-16

Religious music that smoulders and burns in the hands of Grant Green's tasteful lead lines and the rest of the players on this session. Blue Note knew what they were doing and Grant is probably the most underrated jazz guitarist from his era. He's right up there with Kenny Burrell and Wes Montgomery. And he put the blue in Blue Note. Religious music that works on a Saturday night as well as a Sunday morning!

A Truly Human Sound.......2000-11-01

In this recording Mr.Green sets aside his familiar Gibson LS5 guitar in favour of the rather obscure Central American mystic, Sister Alessandra Jorge Diaz (from the order of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour), who proves to be a most marvellous instrument. She is heard strung with traditional gut, and with the more resonant steel, and in both cases she delivers a highly uncommon sound. Mr.Green's uses of the plectrum and of the kapok are very instructive. Mr.Hancock, undoubtedly inspired by Mr.Green's liberties, relinquishes his beloved piano and plays Mr.Harvery Lionel Bally of Rusty Springs, Idaho. Mr.Bally's upper registers are something of a pleasant surprise, but his lower reaches leave much to be desired. When all is said and done, however, all praise must go to Mr.Hancock's well-oiled technique for providing such stimulating accompaniment. Noted bassist, Butch Warren, here masters the art of bowing and plucking Mrs.Eugenie Fillapot, a long-time jazz nut, while Billy Higgins hits the skins of a certain Otto Franz Mommsen, who later filed suit against Blue Note Records for alleged breaches of contract and propriety. Garvin Masseaux sticks to shaking his tambourine, and this can be considered the only sour and conservative note in what is otherwise a highly enjoyable and experimental album, way ahead of its own, or any other, time.

A unique and worthwhile item in Green's discography........2000-05-28

Grant Green may not have had the technical chops of some of the other jazz guitar greats, but his grasp of the soul and feel of the music is unparalled. This session is rather unique in that it is comprised entirely of Gospel standards. While the music is still definitely in the soul-jazz/hard bop vein there is definitely a different feel here. Green's approach to soloing is rather different than usual. He seems genuinely interested in exploring the gospel style, meaning he's more apt towards staying in a groove during a solo and sticking more closely to the melody line. While Green's solos are quite interesting I personally feel a young Herbie Hancock steals the show. Their call and response passages are great with Hancock often coming out on top. I'm quite amazed that at the age of 21 Hancock was already so comfortable as a soloist in such a varied setting. Of course this disc is essential for both fans of Grant Green and Herbie Hancock. Its also a great addition for anyone into soul jazz or someone merely looking for something mellow to chill out to.
