Grant Green – Let The Music Take Your Mind

Digital Crate Digging Continues as we come through on this Fabulous Friday, so called because it’s a blessing to be here!

Flashback Friday references are also made, by now y’all should know we get retro futuristic when we take it there! 

We recognize the pattern, the apparatus is not playing fair but due to previous episodes we knew they wouldn’t!

Bruising and battering from reality is dealt with per devious modes presented by the devil and his advocates but at the end of the day we can see the beauty in it..

..especially after we overcome like the Civil Rights Movement anthem song by Diana Ross, work is put in we weren’t out here trying to front / flex / floss we aren’t playing around with them!

Now let the healing process begin, now we’ll proceed and continue to drop this good word and the sound on them. 

We’re out here checking out this supreme jazz funk from Grant Green – with his version of Sly and The Family Stone’s Let The Music Take Your Mind.

Check out the players and the track as we come though getting breakbeat scientific, putting something on your mind!!

• Drums – Idris Muhammad
• Guitar – Grant Green

• Tenor Saxophone – Claude Bartee
• Vibraphone [Vibes] – William Bivens
