[Pre Order] Grant Green - Idle Moments - Blue Note Essentials LP *

Release Date: September 25, 2026

Blue Note Essentials Series — 140-Gram Vinyl

Time and troubles seem to melt away during the 15 enrapturing minutes of the opening title track of Grant Green's sublime 1963 album, Idle Moments. As the piece unhurriedly unfurls, all the unique colors of the ensemble present themselves — 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 "Nomad."
