Nigeria is an
album by American jazz guitarist Grant Green featuring performances
recorded in 1962 but not released on the Blue Note label until 1980.
Damn great work from guitarist Grant Green – one of his killer sessions
with pianist Sonny Clark – recorded in the early 60s, but unissued until
nearly 20 years later! The groove here is a bit different than some of
Green's early dates with organ – a bit more soulful hardbop at times,
with some great work on rhythm from Sam Jones on bass and Art Blakey on
drums – two great players who complete the group beautifully. The
setting is calm and spare, but very fluid, and all players play with a
brilliant edge – Blakey is excellent, and hearing him on this one makes
you want more of his work as a sideman (which was to diminish greatly
after this recording).
