Grant Green – Feelin’ the Spirit (SHM-SACD single layer)

Grant Green’s 1962 “Feelin‘ The Spirit” is, in a way, the sister release of the hallowed “Sunday Mornin’”, which appeared on Blue Note the year before. On what is the 13th release by this great guitarist and remarkably prolific artist, he interpreted five African-American spirituals. He was accompanied by a state-of-the-art line-up with Herbie Hancock on piano, Butch Warren on bass, Billy Higgins on drums and Garvin Masseaux on tambourine. In the original liner notes, author Joe Goldberg notes that Green approaches these songs “with affection, but as music to be played in his style”. The result is “a fascinating combination that applies the techniques of modern jazz, blues and gospel to the spiritual.”

As part of the extremely popular “Blue Note 85th Anniversary Reissue Series”, Universal Music Japan presents the sonically impressive remastering of this jazz classic by the legendary Kevin Gray, who is also responsible for the analog reissues of Blue Note US such as “Tone Poet” and “Classic Vinyl” – as a limited-edition, high-resolution SHM-SACD version (192 kHz/24 bit, Single-Layer).

This title is an SHM SACD. This format is the further development of the single-layer SACD and uses a particularly light-transparent plastic (Super High Material). It allows a much better readability of the pit-land structures on the surface than is possible with hybrid SACDs. Universal’s SHM SACDs are generally re-digitized to DSD from the albums’ master tapes without any changes. SHM SACDs can be played on any SACD player. Please do not use L’Art du Son or alcohol-based cleaning agents. – Please note: All titles are designed by Universal Music as limited edition collector’s items for the Japanese market.
