About this release
American Jazz Classics – 99103 (US)
This release presents all of Grant Green and Baby Face Willette's collaborative albums as leaders. Recorded in 1961-62, they consist of the LP Grant's First Stand (Blue Note BST-84064), issued under the guitarist's name, and “Baby Face” Willette's albums Face to Face (Blue Note BST-84068) and Stop and Listen (Blue Note BST-84084).
