My second selection is Grant Green Grantstand on the classic Blue Note label. This 1961 session is tasty sample of soul-jazz groove of the era with fun, straight-ahead playing.

Sunday Music Muse Day - Andy Summers, Grant Green
Today Sunday Music Muse Day finds me diving into a backlog of new purchases. First up is Andy Summers Green Chimneys, The Music of Thelonious Monk, and as the title states it a collection of all Thelonious Monk tunes. This is an early companion to another DC "Peggy's Blue Skylight" that was all Charlie Mingus tunes he released two years later.. In the Liner notes Summers relates how, as a teenager, he saw Thelonious Monk perform in England and how it have a massive impact on him. Although best known as a member and guitarist for the Police, with Sting and drummer, Steward Copeland, Summers deep jazz root shows in his solo work after the Police.

My post is short and sweet this week, but music leaves a lasting impress. Enjoy.
