Starting today, I'm going to start posting links to downloads some of my favorite albums.
Of course, the purpose of these free downloads is so you can preview them, and then purchase the music through legitimate means. I would never encourage anybody to subvert the music industry. There it is, in writing. That's exactly how I officially feel.
So to start things off, check out Visions, by Grant Green.
Grant Green is one of my absolute favorite jazz guitarists, and despite increasing posthumous fame, he really never quite got his due as one of the supreme players from the halcyon days of Blue Note. If your a jazz snob, that is. And if so, well fuck you. Shouldn't you be busy getting me kicked off of your precious usenet boards??
Anyway, Visions isn't THE quintessential Grant Green album; in fact, aside from his unmistakable tone, this record is kinda unique compared to the rest of his musical canon.
But it's hot as shit, sho nuff muthafuckah!

Here's a sketch I did of Grant Green:
