Grant Green Jr. with Adam Deitch

Grant Green Jr.:

As the son of legendary jazz guitarist Grant Green (1931-1979), Grant Green Jr. was exposed to exceptional musicianship right from the start. Growing up in Detroit, Grant enjoyed a constant parade of jazz greats streaming through his living room. He’s toured the world in one band or another from an early age, and was based in NYC for many years. A popular trio he founded is the Godfathers of Groove with Bernard Purdie. (aka: Masters of Groove.) Grant’s ability to blend funky grooves with the melodic soul-jazz and blues made him a festival favorite and he has also played with folks like Widespread Panic, Carlos Santana, George Benson, Tedeschi-Trucks Band, The Wood Brothers and more. Grant put out his album Thank You Mr. Bacharach last year and Susan Tedeschi sang on the lead single, “What the World Needs Now.”
