Idle Moments

VINYL FORMAT. Exact repro reissue, originally released in 1963. Featuring Joe Henderson (tenor sax), Bobby Hutcherson (vibes), Grant Green (guitar), Duke Pearson (piano), Bob Cranshaw (bass) and Al Harewood (drums).

"This languid, seductive gem may well be Grant Green's greatest moment on record. Right from the opening bars of the classic title cut, Idle Moments is immediately ingratiating and accessible, featuring some of Green's most stylish straight jazz playing. Whether he's running warm (pianist Duke Pearson's 'Idle Moments'), cool (the Modern Jazz Quartet's 'Django'), or a bit more up-tempo (Pearson's 'Nomad,' his own 'Jean de Fleur'), Green treats the material with the graceful elegance that was the hallmark of his best hard bop sessions, and that quality achieves its fullest expression here." - All Music
