Grant's First Stand is the debut album by American jazz guitarist Grant Green featuring performances by Green recorded and released on the Blue Note label in 1961. He is featured in a trio with organist Baby Face Willette and drummer Ben Dixon. Earlier recordings made by Green for Blue Note were released as First Session in 2001. Although it was his first album released as a leader on Blue Note, Grant Green had recorded earlier sessions for the label in 1960 that were not issued until decades later. Green was recommended to Blue Note by saxophonist Lou Donaldson, who encouraged him to move to New York after hearing him perform in East St. Louis.
