Grant Green (1935–1979) was a pioneering jazz guitarist whose unique sound combined blues, bebop, soul, and gospel influences. Born in St. Louis, Green rose to prominence in the 1960s through his work with Blue Note Records, where he became one of the most recorded artists in the label’s history. Known for his fluid, melodic phrasing and unmistakable groove, Green’s playing bridged the gap between hard bop and soul-jazz, leaving a legacy that continues to inspire generations of musicians. His signature works include Idle Moments, Green Street, and Grantstand.

Founded by Sky Covington, The Preservation of Jazz is dedicated to celebrating, preserving, and elevating the timeless art of jazz. Through concerts, tributes, festivals, and educational initiatives, the organization provides a platform for artists while honoring the pioneers who shaped the genre. The Monday Night Music Series at Aretha’s Jazz Café is one of its cornerstone projects, offering audiences an intimate and unforgettable experience with Detroit’s finest musicians and beyond.
