Yer there is. Put on Slick and wet your whistle chewy.

Definitely Grant Green is only on one track. I remember getting the vinyl about ten years ago and putting it on the turntable anticipating the second GG track and as soon as it started, I realised it was probably another Attila Zoller track. So on the various Italian boots and the concert film we have 3 Attila Zoller tracks, 1 Grant Green, 1 Kenny Burrell, 2 George Benson - Ready and Able and Benson's Rider, and the Charlie Byrd - Michelle. According to the 66 Billboard review we know GG played' a series of impressive Blues performances', Kenny Burrell also did a version of Greensleeves among other 'well executed turns' and George Benson also did Flamingo. https://books.google.com.au/books?id=SxIEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA38&lpg=PA38&dq=grant+green+newport+1966&source=bl&ots=wpsXZ3o_rn&sig=H_HNBSBzE926j7OEfsY8nByeBPY&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiylYfAqo7aAhWDUrwKHbmRDFg4ChDoAQg9MAU#v=onepage&q=grant green newport 1966&f=false

So here is the George Benson film from the Newport workshop. And the workshop concert film. Enjoy all you Charlie Byrd nuts.

Yeah there's just one Grant Green selection on the Italian boots which is Canteloupe Woman although its listed as Blues In Green or something. 1966 Newport.

That's exactly what people say about Wynton Marsalis as well.

I read somewhere recently that Claude Bartee used a special kind of arduous tonguing technique that gave him that sound.

I've heard it. I've got a feeling you won't be disappointed. To me it sounds like the kind of Album he would have made for Prestige circa 69.

I suppose that the late Bob Beldon might have conducted a good search to locate the session and the other two unissued Verve sessions. He seemed to devote a lot of energy and passion into Green's re-issues. Perhaps if they haven't surfaced yet they might never be recovered sadly.

I bet if someone offered the BN archive officer $64,000 they'd find it quick smart.

Some exciting news on the Grant Green front... courtesy of members who moonlight on other forums . ...Paris and Antibes, plus 'Oil Can Harry's'??? http://www.downbeat.com/digitaledition/2018/DB1803/single_page_view/10.html

And the entire history of the board will provide an amazing portrait of the sanctimoniousness of others.

Can't say I've ever heard this one. But the name 'Fred Pronk' makes me smile

I can't speak for a 'Missouri whooping' but in Australia I guess it would translate this way...that Pitt was 'gonna punch the shit out of the sad ****'. At the very least.

No vocals. But is this ONE HELL OF A GROOVE!!!!!!!

You shouldn't have let him get away. He may never be seen again.

The Grant Green documentary is available for viewing on Vimeo.

After 37 miserable years my team finally played in and won the Grand Final GA. One of the happiest day of my life on Saturday!!! 100,000 people there. I couldn't get a ticket to the Grand Final, but got to go to the Preliminary Final, it was nearly as good. The 'Tiger Army' was reborn!!! It's been a double blessing this weekend. Winning the Grand Final, and the Grant Green documentary appears on Vimeo the next day!!!!!!!

I went to the Vanguard and Smoke on the same night when i was in NY in April. I was intending to go to Smoke but it was a total fluke I went to The Vanguard. I was strollling around and looked up and saw the Village Vanguard sign. I just had to go in and catch a set. Scott Colley Quartet was playing. I then went over to Smoke and lucked out as Bernstein was playing with Mike Ledonne. They seemed to play for a good while, but a young German kid eventually sat in on guitar. The next night at Smoke was the highlight though...Mel Davis on Organ and Marvin Horne playing guitar with a great sax player and funky young drummer. Now that was something special. It was like walking into a Charles Kynard album!!! The next night would have been very special as well, which was an 80th birthday gig for Mr Reuben Wilson, however I had to catch a plane to Mississippi and couldn't attend. i was very dissapointed about that, but I had no idea the Organ would be at Smoke while I was in NYC and couldn't alter my itenarary. Smokes a tiny little bar

Not quite guitar, but Wilton Felder, sax and bass. Although there is also Olu Daru, trumpet and guitar, Blood Ulmer, flute and guitar.

The two Adams/Ulmer Phalanx sessions on DIW are really special. Sirone and Rashid Ali on those. Very majestic. There are compositions by all except Rashid I think. Some very deep playing by George Adams on those. The DIW albums are 'chamber jazz' for want of a better term, while the band with Amin Ali and Calvin Weston above is a 'harmolodic bar band' for want of a better term

Luxuriating on this newly discovered delight no end.

I resemble that remark. The Necks used to play annual sell out gigs at my local Rock venue in Melbourne every New Years eve. Not a small venue either. I guess they're also bit old hat now these days...

True. I guess I picture an audience that probably also listens to The Necks. Not that there's anything wrong with that Necks lovers!!
