Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Time and troubles
seem to melt away during the 15 enrapturing minutes of Idle Moments, the
opening track of Grant Green's sublime 1963 album of the same name. As
the piece unhurriedly unfurls all the unique colors of the ensemble
present themselves with Green's soulful guitar joined by Duke Pearson's
elegant piano, Bobby Hutcherson's crystalline vibraphone, Bob Cranshaw's
reassuring upright bass, Al Harewood's subtle drums, and lastly Joe
Henderson's magnificent tenor saxophone. The pace quickens for the rest
of this set including the Green original "Jean de Fleur," a bluesy take
on John Lewis' MJQ standard "Django," and Pearson's original "Nomad."
