This is part of Blue Note's Limited Edition Connoisseur series.

After his untimely death in 1979, Blue Note published a number of Grant Green's previously unreleased '60s recordings. One of these astounding sessions is SOLID, an energetic outing that finds Green leading a large ensemble, including Coltrane band members and Blue Note regulars. Green shows his mettle with fire and precision, his bright, clear tone cutting through the dense sonic backdrop.

The set consists of several intriguing tunes, opening with Duke Pearson's intricate "Minor League," a swinging epic that allows for some powerful blowing, while modal pioneer George Russell's sizzling "Ezz-Thetic" is a fast-paced burner that stretches the group nearly to its limit and offers an engaging harmonic foundation. Green's own "Grant's Tune" and Sonny Rollins' "Solid" are relaxed blues that swing and sway with flavorful statements by all concerned. Joe Henderson's swinging classic "The Kicker," and the Bacharach-David waltz "Wives and Lovers" round out this highly enjoyable session.

5 stars My Favorite Green Album
This is one of Grant's most inspired albums and certainly brings the best out in the sidemen Joe Henderson, James Spaulding and McCoy Tyner. Spaulding's soaring phrases compliment Henderson's angular melodies and Green's blues-tinged bop lines. The first tune's my favorite, but each number has a lot of intensity and excitement. I highly recommend this album along with the classic "Idle Moments".

5 stars Chemistry!!!!!!
Everyone is focused and electric on this album, McCoy Tyner is Bopping to no end, his comping is amazing as well as his solos, Grant repeats a lot of his signature riffs over and over on this album, but he puts a new spin on them everytime, and he his especially groovy on this date. This is one of the best Grant albums ever.
