About
Feelin' the Spirit is an album by jazz guitarist Grant Green recorded on December, 21, 1962 and issued on Blue Note Records 1963 as BLP 4132 and BST 84132. Consisting purely of jazz versions of African American spirituals, it is one of a series of theme records recorded by the guitarist in 1962. From the original liner notes: "Green has made no attempt here to recreate the five spirituals he plays in anything resembling their original context, nor has he tried to duplicate their often pallid manifestation on the concert stage. He has approached them with affection, but as music to be played in his style. The result is a fascinating combination: the techniques of modern jazz, blues, and gospel, all applied to the spiritual." - Joe Goldberg Tracklist 1. "Just a Closer Walk with Thee" - 7:25 2.
