Welcome !      Grant Green Iron City Album: Jazz For The Open Road Genres: Jazz A perfect introduction to Grant’s great grooves. The jazz guitar master goes to “Iron City” and gets down-home funky! Similar Songs Critic's Review Ratings & Reviews Related links   5MB RealAudio      Need a free Player?      Download Help           Pulled from one of the most underrated recording dates in an underrated career, the title track of 1967’s Iron City is a laid-back, funky blues shuffle that finds Green and his sidemen -- organist Big John Patton and drummer Ben Dixon -- expertly playing off one another’s licks. Green’s consistently clean and tasteful single-note fills are the highlight (he actually plays more than usual), but Patton’s work on the keys is the glue holding this groove together. And the evident telepathy between all three players is what makes it really cook; at times it’s hard to tell exactly who’s doing what, and that’s a good thing here. Not the harder Green funk that would give rare groove addicts a woody years later, “Iron City” is just as impressive -- and essential -- on its own merits.       Dan LeRoy     Dan LeRoy is the music and entertainment writer for the Charleston Daily Mail.
