LP - NEW/NEW - GRANT GREEN, Idle Moments (Blue Note; 3579910, UK 2021 Reissue, 180 Gram Vinyl), , Time and troubles seem to melt away during the fifteen 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 colours 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 Joe Henderson s magnificent tenor saxophone. The pace quickens for the rest of this tremendous set including the nimble Green original Jean de Fleur, a bluesy take on John Lewis MJQ standard Django, and a driving performance of Pearson s original Nomad. This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal. - 2216148C *** In Stock In Our Crouch End Shop ***
