robertoart Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hi wondering if any forum members have a copy of this, and may be able to confirm whether in the Grant Green article, his son Grant Green jr. mentions a colour film made of his father performing from the early 70's. Shuggie Otis on the cover. Thanks in advance. Wax Poetics Issue 31 WAX POETICS Shuggie Otis, MF Doom, Grant Green, Patrick Adams, Slick Rick, Os Mutantes...

Peter Johnson Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Indeed. There's a discussion about a film from Ronnie Scott's, then GG jr says "there is actually one more video out there of my old man playing. And I know where it is. [laughs] A friend of mine has it in Cleveland. And it's the funky era, like 1973 or '74." There's a little more discussion about "bringing it out"--do you want more?

Just wanted confirmation I was correct. I think Grant Green Jr. goes on to say that he thought the film was made to be used as a cinema short between movies. Wonder why it was never released in the 3 years since the interview. Perhaps it's being saved for a doco or something. Bet if it was from the sixties, it would have found a home on a Jazz dvd release by now. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
