Jazz guitarist, Grant Green's, more than two-decade tenure with Blue Note was broken up by one album for Verve Records: 1965's His Majesty King Funk.
This Creed Taylor-produced session offers deeply-felt renditions of Green's topical original "The Selma March" and enduring pop tunes like "That Lucky Old Sun" and a spacious reading of "Willow Weep for Me." Green's clarity of melody and tone is well matched by Larry Young's harmonically rich organ, Harold Vick's blues and gospel-inflicted tenor and the propulsive rhythm section of drummer Ben Dixon and conguero Candido Camero.
Capturing Green at a creative intersection of hard bop, R&B, and emerging soul-jazz, the album remains prized for its deep grooves, ensemble interplay, and enduring influence within his catalog
