Visions is an album by American jazz guitarist Grant Green, recorded in 1971 and released on the Blue Note Records label. The sessions capture Green in a late period setting that blends jazz improvisation with contemporary pop and classical material, framed by electric piano driven arrangements typical of the era.
The album includes reinterpretations of modern repertoire alongside classical themes, most notably an adaptation of the first movement of Mozart’s Symphony No. 40. The track “Maybe Tomorrow” also draws from Maurice Ravel’s Pavane pour une infante défunte, a melodic passage later sampled by Kendrick Lamar on “Sing About Me, I’m Dying of Thirst.” Contemporary reviews were measured but positive, with AllMusic noting that while the production reflects its time, Visions stands as one of Green’s more accessible and satisfying crossover recordings.
