Grant Green • His Majesty King Funk

Review

Don't be scared off by the His Majesty King Funk title; this is not Green's later commercial stuff. This is excellent Grant Green with Larry Young on organ, Harold Vick on sax, Ben Dixon on drums, and Candido Camero on conga -- essentially a classic four-piece. And this is soul-jazz with a deep groove. His Majesty King Funk is the last of five albums Green recorded with Young. Produced by Creed Taylor, it is the only album Green did for Verve and perhaps his last real jazz album before several years of inactivity, after which he became somewhat more commercial in his approach. The album includes the standard "That Lucky Old Sun (Just Rolls Around Heaven All Day)."

Reseña:

No te asustes por el título de Su Majestad el Rey Funk; esto no es el material comercial posterior de Green. Este es un excelente Grant Green con Larry Young en el órgano, Harold Vick en el saxo, Ben Dixon en la batería, y Candido Camero en la conga - esencialmente un clásico de cuatro piezas. Y esto es soul-jazz con un ritmo profundo. Su Majestad el Rey Funk es el último de los cinco álbumes que Green grabó con Young. Producido por Creed Taylor, es el único álbum que Green hizo para Verve y quizás su último álbum de jazz real antes de varios años de inactividad, después de los cuales se volvió algo más comercial en su enfoque. El álbum incluye el estándar "That Lucky Old Sun (Just Rolls Around Heaven All Day)".
