Today's record is one of the many good CD recording of Grant Green's first mid-sixties. During this period, the guitarist has recorded some 20 albums, composing different częto unusual instrumental line-ups. Rhythm sections often consist not only of guitar and bass, but also can be found in them vibraphone, and often the Hammond organ. Also hit the piano. Sometimes, although not very częto was also a Additional solo instrument - for example, sax - supported for example by Ike Quebec (for the album Born To Be Blue).
Today's album is just one of those unusual configurations - in addition to formal leadership guitar soloist is playing the vibraphone Bobby Hutcherson. The rhythm section - in name at least make the organ player Larry Young and drummer Elvin Jones. This seemingly unusual musical setup is good for Grant Green's guitar. Deprivation of the double bass section and replacing it with Hammond organ creates not only a unique sound, but allows the leader to develop solo based on the unusual rhythmic solutions without coming into conflict with the rhythm usually delineated by the double bass.
few months before the release of today's disc was different, perhaps even more interesting record with Grant Green Bobby Hutcherson - Idle Moments. Both entries contain a seemingly uninteresting and unknown repertoire, however, shows that in the hands of creative musicians, even a little-known compositions are able to turn to give a lot of interesting opportunities to improvise songs.
is also interesting participated in this video, Elvin Jones, part of which is attributed only to the listeners sharp style known from his recordings with John Coltrane'm. It should be remembered for his recordings of that period of Kenny Burrell (Guitar Forms) and Larry Young, on his solo albums. Elvin Jones is well placed to adjust to roam the convention somewhere beyond the basic time signature rhythm section, which sets the pulse of today's CD Larry Young. Probably it is the CD recording dzisijeszej a starting point for cooperation and Elvin Jones, Larry Young, who nicały year later led to the excellent record CD Larry Young - Unity.
The board found only 4 songs, each of which lasts about 8 minutes. After years of failed for no known issue I make some extra tracks or alternate versions. So the music is not enough, which does not mean that the CD is not worth the interest. These 4 tracks, then turned into a pulsating jazz vehicles, completely unknown compositions reminiscent of illustrative music television and theater, of which only one - Lazy Afternoon Jazz survive until the next incarnation of the disc Wynton Marsalis - Hot House Flowers.
That's clearly the composition, which in 1964 had great potential. Despite the great passages of musical interaction, particularly between Grant Green, Bobby Hutcherson and Larry Young's excellent game, but rather the potential wasted. I have a feeling that it could be better and more interesting in this composition. This is not a bad album, but cooperation with Larry Young, Grant Green went better on the CD Grant Green I Want To Hold Your Hand, and sometimes on the disc Larry Young Into 'Somethin'. Who wants to have one or two discs Grant Green - should definitely choose The Complete Quartets With Sonny Clark, Standards, and Born To Be Blue. For fans of the guitarist, of course, mandatory record.
