Grant Green – Idle Moments (LP, Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition)

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 unfurls, all the unique colors of the ensemble present themselves with Green on guitar, Duke Pearson on piano, Bobby Hutcherson on vibraphone, Bob Cranshaw on upright bass, Al Harewood on drums, and Joe Henderson on tenor sax. Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is all-analog, mastered from the original tapes on 180-gram LP.
