The Final Comedown was Blue Note's first film soundtrack and is an excellent debut into the Blaxploitation soundtrack genre of the period. As Grant Green's entry into this blaxploitation genre it does differ to a certain degree from his other works. There are pensive mood pieces along with more funky percussive tunes. Like any film score, the moods shift from tense to tranquil, featuring staccato horn punches, dramatic tympani, bongo driven beats and wah wah guitar. Grant Green brings a deeper jazz feel to the tracks with in particular the title track being more akin to his other Blue Note material of the period. Past Present and Future, Final Comedown, Father's Lament, Fountain Scene, Soul Food - African Shop, Slight Fear and Terror, Afro Party, Luanna's Theme, Battle Scene, Traveling to Get to Doc, One Second After Death
