well worth the money February 8, 2008
Im amazed at how cheap these albums are as the musicianship and technical skill are so impressive. Grant Green's guitar with the vibraphone works beautifully tonally and melodically. An album for a jazz fan.
The epitome of cool February 4, 2008
Grant Green and Bobby Hutcherson were always going to be a formidable combination and so it proves on this date for Blue Note. This is probably the best guitar date Blue Note ever recorded. Relaxing? Yes. Challenging? Absolutely. But dont be fooled this is not comatose. This swings like nobodys business, and is thoroughly modern. I love this record. If any guitar lead ensemble ventured near Kind of Blue territory its this one. Its beautful and deep. If you love music that is contemplative and beguiling you want this record. its a simple choice. Buy it.
Most relaxing album ever? March 1, 2004

It doesn't matter how stressed I have been during the day this album sorts it all out! The title track is magnificant with each of the artists taking you along a smooth and mellow path and when that sax comes in.....no need for anything else...except maybe a small single malt whisky!Buy it and enjoy it. Over and over and over again.

I picked up this CD by chance as the store I was in had an offer on Blue Note CD's. I've never been a big jazz fan, but love guitar based music so I thought I would give this a chance and I was blown away! The title track is worth the CD price alone. It falls 2 seconds short of 15 minutes, but there isn't a dull moment on this mellow smoky track which is pure heaven to listen to. Grant Green is an amazing guitarist, very smooth, and the rest of the sextet (piano, sax, drums, bass and vibes) play just as well. The second track, Jean de Fleur, ups the tempo nicely after Idle Moments and the third track, Django, takes the pace back down again with a brilliant melancholic intro before another inspired Green solo. Track 4, Nomad, is another faster paced number, ending the album perfectly. The Blue Note RVG edition also includes alternate takes of Jean de Fleur and Django, which are also a pleasure to hear. I can't believe Grant Green was such an underrated and unsung jazz guitarist in his time. This is a perfect place to start any jazz collection. I would also recommend the Grant Green Blue Note CD 'Green Street' if you want to hear the guitarist in a more intimate setting of a trio (with just bass and drums).
