Grant Green: His Majesty King Funk (Verve Acoustic Sounds Series) (180 g) (LP)

With “His Majesty King Funk,” his only album for Verve Records, guitarist Grant Green created an absolute classic of soul-jazz in May 1965. It was also the fifth and final album on which he collaborated with the exciting Hammond organist Larry Young. One of the highlights is the track “The Selma March,” composed by Green himself, which served as a musical commentary on the marches of the U.S. civil rights movement that had made headlines two months earlier. Verve Acoustic Sounds Series: mastered entirely analog from the original tapes by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound, QPR pressing (180g), sturdy tip-on gatefold sleeve (Stoughton Printing), padded inner sleeve
