Green had hinted at this post-bop direction on his 1963 masterpiece \u003cem\u003eIdle Moments\u003c\/em\u003e, and for the \u003cem\u003eMatador\u003c\/em\u003e session assembled a quartet with pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and Elvin Jones. A month later Green returned to Van Gelder Studio and expanded the band to a state-of-the-art sextet with the addition of tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson and alto saxophonist James Spaulding. The high-octane set kicks into gear right from the jump on Duke Pearson’s “Minor League” and burns through George Russell’s hard-charging “Ezz-Thetic” with other highlights including Green’s evocative “Grant’s Tune,” the Sonny Rollins blues “Solid,” and an emphatic version of Henderson’s “The Kicker.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBLUE NOTE ESSENTIALS - the label’s LP classics for the first time at an uncompromisingly affordable price, without compromise in manufacturing quality. 140g Optimal pressing from hi-res master, single sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Urban Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67634452889827,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2333\/3945\/files\/GG_IM_LP_BlueNote_STKR-00199957966818_ProductShot.webp?v=1791361760","url":"https:\/\/urbanrecords.com.au\/products\/grant-green-idle-moments-blue-note-essentials-vinyl-series","provider":"Urbanrecords","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
