Idle Moments

A masterpiece of modal jazz, this album is defined by its stunning, nearly 15-minute title track. The spellbindingly slow tempo creates a hypnotic, meditative atmosphere, giving the all-star lineup vast space for lyrical and introspective improvisation. The beautiful interplay between Grant Green's guitar, Joe Henderson's tenor, and Bobby Hutcherson's vibes makes this one of the most beloved and definitive statements of the 'cool blue' Blue Note sound.
