{"product_id":"grant-green-idle-moments-blue-note-essential-vinyl-series","title":"Grant Green - Idle Moments [Blue Note Essential Vinyl Series]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe unhurried opening of Grant Green's \u003cem\u003eIdle Moments\u003c\/em\u003e brings guitar, piano, vibraphone, and tenor saxophone into a six-piece jazz ensemble. Green recorded the album with Joe Henderson, Bobby Hutcherson, Duke Pearson, Bob Cranshaw, and Al Harewood. The title piece stretches beyond 14 minutes, giving each player room to develop melodic ideas as the group settles into a relaxed pulse. Green's phrasing and Pearson's arrangements shape the four compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title track, \"Idle Moments,\" develops slowly around Green's guitar lines, with Henderson's tenor saxophone and Hutcherson's vibraphone taking their turns. \"Jean De Fleur,\" written by Green, moves at a quicker pace and gives his single-note runs more space. The group approaches John Lewis' \"Django\" as a blues-inflected tribute, while Pearson's \"Nomad\" closes the set with firmer rhythmic movement and extended improvisation. Together, these four pieces show the players working at contrasting tempos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded in two sessions at Rudy Van Gelder's New Jersey studio, the album pairs Green's guitar with an unusually rich front line for a small jazz group. Henderson's saxophone, Hutcherson's vibraphone, and Pearson's piano each contribute distinct melodic passages. This Blue Note Essential Vinyl Series edition is pressed on 140g black vinyl and mastered from high-resolution digital sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandout tracks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Idle Moments, Jean De Fleur, Django, Nomad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressing details:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Note Essential Vinyl Series, 140g Black Vinyl, Mastered From High-Resolution Digital Sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre\/style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hard Bop, Soul Jazz, Modal Jazz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 199957966818\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Idle Moments\" is the album's longest performance, letting the six musicians develop its theme through solos.
