Born to Be Blue is an album by American jazz guitarist Grant Green featuring performances recorded for Blue Note on March 1, 1962 but not released until 1985. Green is accompanied by tenor saxophonist Ike Quebec, pianist Sonny Clark, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Louis Hayes.
The AllMusic review by Alex Henderson awarded the album 4ý stars and stated "Although Grant Green provided his share of groove-oriented soul-jazz and modal post-bop, his roots were hard bop, and it is in a bop-oriented setting that the guitarist excels on Born to Be Blue".
