Grant Green's debut album, Grant's First Stand, still ranks as one of his greatest pure soul-jazz outings, a set of killer grooves laid down by a hard-swinging organ trio. For having such a small lineup, just organist Baby Face Willette and drummer Ben Dixon -- the group cooks up quite a bit of power, really sinking its teeth into the storming up-tempo numbers, and swinging loose and easy on the ballads. From the first note of "Miss Ann's Tempo," they establish a groove, and swing like hell through two standards and four originals. 

Record - audio and visual grading: nice VG+ copy, a few hairlines and light paper scuffs that sounds clean and flowing. You can listen to the whole album rip , vinyl has been professionally cleaned and recorded with a ProJect DS2 Phono Stage.
Cover: solid VG+ with usual wear on corners. The thick cardboard is in beatiful shape, with a small pen writing on the back.
