"Recorded live at Club Mozambique, Detroit, MI 1971 by
Francis Wolff
. The funk fans have been waiting for this one. Finally available on vinyl,
Grant Green
's near perfect slice of jazz funk and soul,
Live at Club Mozambique
, remastered and rendered back in the Motor City. Grant Green's band had been playing a series of live dates at Detroit's Club Mozambique, (before it became a fabled male dance club) when this session was recorded live on two cold January nights in 1971. Powerhouse drummer
Idris Muhammad
and soulful tenor star
Houston Person
were brought in to supplement Green's current band featuring
Ronnie Foster
on organ and
Clarence Thomas
on soprano and tenor sax and Blue Note producer Francis Wolff recorded. This treasure was never released, though, and (conjectures aside) remained in the Blue Notes vaults for 35 years before a 2006 CD release. Sounding incredibly fresh and live, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more real stamping of Grant Green at the top of his game. The LP blends extremely hypnotic and wild funk such as their opening cover of a local funk hit 'Jan Jan' by the
Fabulous Counts
next to laidback renditions of early '70s soul favorites 'Walk on By,' 'Patches' and 'One More Chance' by the
Jackson 5
. It perfectly captures the magic of hearing a legendary band effortlessly doing their thing in a small club while the audience unwinds after a long work day. Green pulls it all together with his melodic genius and perfect delivery. Great artists make it seem so easy. No pretensions here, just a great band burning up the stage with unmistakable chemistry on what might be the ultimate jazz funk time capsule."
