Cal Green can be attached to blues as well as jazz, funk and rock & roll. He has played in all those styles. Influenced by Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, he is part of the Houston scene with his friend Roy Gaines. Like him, his older brother Clarence is also a blues guitarist in Houston. For various labels, Cal accompanies many artists including Hank Ballard from summer 1954. In solo, he recorded two singles for Federal in 1956 and 1958. (Blues Sessions)

Cal Green - Trippin' With Cal Green (1969)
The back cover of Trippin' with Cal Green bears the message "This Album Should Be Titled MONSTER," and it's the absolute truth -- this blissed-out psychedelic jazz opus boasts some of the most extraordinarily funky guitar ever committed to vinyl. Best known for his collaboration with acid jazz pioneer Charles Kynard, who contributes some incendiary organ here, Green deserves mention in the same breath as fellow post-Wes Montgomery greats Grant Green and Eddie Fisher -- his vividly soulful leads are somehow both earthy and otherworldly. His virtuosity even transcends paint-by-numbers originals like "Mellow in Blue" and "Johnny's Gone to Vietnam" -- the album's highlight is nevertheless its hypnotic cover of Stevie Wonder's "My Cherie Amour." (Jason Ankely, Allmusic)

What's with those idiots at Exystence? They banned me about 4 months ago and never told me why. I posted a comment asking them why I was banned and could I please be 'un-banned'. They read and published the comment but never did anything about letting me post again.
What a bunch of jerks!!!
Has anyone else had problems with them?
Yes Yankeeboy. I have had many problems with them as you are aware of. I don't bother with them anymore.
@ Yankeeboy at the beginning of my experience of posting music on exystence i was banned but only for a week or two. since then I have been careful to respect the rule of Exy Cbox.
I don't post regurarly on Exystence, although i visit the site every day searching for new music, because i find that isn't very friendly, or at least not so friendly as TZ. Don't believe they are idiots only that they have rule too stricts that i don't like very much.
ps but certainly although the spinach are good food, sure are bit stodgy for me
I stopped bothering with Exy a couple years ago. Too many headaches.
-Xtm
B Spinach really takes his job as chief moderator very seriously - I'm done with that place.
good to know i wasn't the only one to be banned!
cheers
yes THAT place is littered with some disrespectful and egotistical a-holes, though i do still check in occasionally.
Thanks Gyro
The George Harrison share fills in a gap.
Regards
crispy, RYP & Gyro
Thanks loads for the Cal Green - wow!
The danger with any blog is that it ends up in the hands of a few self-regarding 'cool hipsters' as regulars, and the blog always suffers as a result. Ex's site is one such place where there is a sort of sneering contempt for newbies, people requesting stuff and so forth.
No such hierarchy exists at TZ. Yes, there are regular contributors and commentators, but they work on the basis that everyone shares the love, not send simple requests away with a flea in their ear.
Sure, Exy serves a different crowd...new albums or reissues a lot of the time...but the site is rapidly approaching the hipster approach...'if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear...be sure the hipster has it on vinyl'.
I get several albums a day here at TZ. I don't always say thanks because saying thanks again and again is boring and repetitive, but I appreciate everything everyone does on this site. Exy manages to post an occasional album worth checking out, but it has all become a bit woolly in its desire to serve everyone from a free jazz fan to an indie pop fan. TZ has the jump there too. No, I don't need an album of Australian power pop, but I appreciate that there's a couple of themes running through TZ which satisfies my need for a fix.
Ely used to do that. It doesn't anymore. The 'group chat' box over there has become a bit of a love-in for about three or four self styled cool dudes whose dismissal of others is dragging the entire site down.
Jim
I still find a lot of good stuff on Exy. A few months ago I asked for something and within 6 hours someone came through for me. I went to thank him and found out I was banned. And have remained so to this day.
Twice I posted something in the comments asking why and neither time did anyone bother to answer me.
I was banned from Exy for posting a Jimmy Campbell LP that wasn't requested. I thought the response was meaningless and really irritated me. I think they're operating on a different wavelengths. Too many rules for me.
Really everyone interested in "Acid Jazz" or Soul-Jazz should listen to
that LP - Cal Green - Trippin' With Cal Green (1969).The name of the Organist -Charles Kynard,who plays piano on the first two tracks-is misspelled Kinard on the cover, he was not well known at that time.
But what a groover he is.Perfect Drawbar settings, with enough overdrive to make the tubes in the B3 burning hot.Fantastic !!
Do you like Hammond based Jazz? Then check out Tony Monaco - that guy is alive and touring.He is probably the best living Organist right now.
If you like the modal Hard Bop of Larry Young, then check out Pat Bianchi, another master in his field.
Raimund
I'm not saying that I don't find anything there, Yankeeboy. I am just saying that I will no longer post in the chatbox because of the five or so people who are part of the inner circle there make it hard for everyone else. They go out of their way to make you feel unwanted in their club, and they ban you for no reason. Obviously a power hungry bunch.
Chris Ryp Gyro al,
Thanks for the Cal Green tip
