is an album by American jazz guitarist Grant Green featuring a performance recorded at the Cliche Lounge in Newark, New Jersey in 1970 and released on the Blue Note label.
The Allmusic review by Steve Huey awarded the album 4 stars and stated "Alive!
is the hardest funk LP Grant Green recorded during the later phase of his career... this is the most convincing and consistent Green had been as a funkster and, while nearly all of his albums from the early '70s feature at least some worthwhile material for acid jazz and beat-sampling junkies, Alive!
[2] "The Penguin Guide to Jazz" review by Richard Cook and Brian Morton stated: "It seems remarkable that Blue Note weren't more enthusiastic sooner about recording Green in his natural setting.
This, from the Cliché Lounge in Newark, is almost his best recording for the label, a burning, sweaty club that might rely a bit on the very commodity it was named for, but none the worse of that."
