Grant Green - Green Street (1961)
One of the greatest jazz guitarists ever on one of his tightest albums. Over a barely-there foundation of bass and drums, Green flexes his talent and explores the entirety of his skills - quick runs, tasteful licks, subtle melodic departures, thoughtful arrangements. A must-have for jazz enthusiasts and musicians, especially guitarists - I've lifted some of my favorite licks from this album.
