Grant Green

Day 13
#56 – Grant Green (1935–1979). American jazz guitarist and composer. Albums include: Idle Moments (1963), Solid (1964) and The Matador (1964).

Critic Dave Hunter described his sound as “lithe, loose, slightly bluesy and righteously groovy”. This was such a great quote that I used this from the start. Adding the strings brought it back to the guitar. The bold graphic typeface made it stand out and look more distinctive.
