Green Is Beautiful

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Fully committing to the commercial potential of jazz-funk, the legendary guitarist fronted a profoundly tight, groove-heavy session for Blue Note. Supported by the impeccable drum breaks of Idris Muhammad and the organ playing of Emmanuel Riggins, the tracks feature highly accessible, rhythmic reinterpretations of contemporary pop hits. The record has since achieved monumental status as an essential, foundational text for acid jazz and hip-hop sampling.
