Summary: Mixed Feelings
Comment: I bought this CD only last week and have listened to it 4 or 5 times. Just having gone through a phase of listening to guitar/organ combos, I bought this and Pat Martino's "El Hombre" the same day. So far, I prefer the Martino CD much more, but that's a little unfair, because that is more fiery and dynamic than this was ever supposed to be, and that has just happened to be my mood lately.
I think I like the idea of this recording better than the recording itself - so far. The instrumentation is superb - guitar/organ/drums, and one of my newest favorites, Bobby Hutcherson, on vibes. My problem is with Green himself. If this had been a Larry Young CD I would probably have had no problem with it...he's at the top of his form. It's not that Green doesn't carry the weight of the improvisations, but at times he sound a little uninspired - lines that abruptly end, note that he flubs. He almost sounds like he is "noodling" a bit at times, not quite sure of where he's going with a solo. Now I'd rather hear Grant Green noodle than many others on a good session, and I'm sure that this CD will grow on me with a few more listens ("Green Street" did just that), but that is just my initial observations. I hope I read my review a month from now and say "what the hell was I thinking?", which, if I know my listening relationship with Green's music, will surely be the case.
If this sounds a little too critical, it's not - I still like the song selection, the guitar tone, MOST of Green's playing, and the sound of the ensemble. A great, mellow album that perhaps in a less boisterous mood I'd give 5 stars. It is worth the investment.
Thanks - and don't overlook Martino's CD if the guitar/organ thing sounds appealing!

Summary: Velvety Tumescence
Comment: This is one of my top ten favorite jazz albums. It captures a certain feel of West Coast Cool. It's mellow music but there is complexity and brilliance to Green's guitar work that gives the music an intricacy and vigor worth listening to over and over again. Smooth but not flaccid. But this album would be an important part of your jazz collection even without appreciating the cryptic subtleties that lend it weight. It works just as well on a simpler level, purely on it's charming, hypnotic sound. Green's guitar solos float buoyantly over the smooth sounds of Larry Young's organ work, accented by Bobby Hutcherson's vibes and an appropriately restrained Elvin Jones on drums. Don't believe me? Sample track 3, Streets of Dreams, and see.
It's rare to find such a beautiful blending of instruments. Musicians complimenting each other with such generosity of spirit and such clarity of sound and vision, it will shame away every negative emotion tucked away in your subconscious. It's like a colonic hydrotherapy for the soul, but without the risks of intestinal perforations and flash edema. Less invasive too, wouldn't you say? For best results, go get a deep tissue massage, then rush immediately to your local osteopath for some vigorous thoracic and lumbar adjustments. Then, drive home, take just a pinch of Xanax and a baby dose of chloral hydrate. Take a hot shower, pour yourself a tall Tanqueray on the rocks, and put the album on. Dim the lights. Fire up a lava lamp if you've got one. If you must smoke, I would go with a light Maryland pipe tobacco, unsweetened, mixed with just a smidgen of smoky Cyprian latakia. Please do not operate heavy machinery while listening to this music.
You're welcome.

Comment: If you liked "Idle Moments" you will probably like this one too. I ended up trading both of them in!

Summary: Still Listening After 30 Years
Comment: I bought this on vinyl in the 1970s and recently on CD. A magic musical session. All musicians at the top of their game. Plus, I love the lineup: guitar, organ, vibes, drums. Great. My only regret is that there weren't any more cuts from this session in the can. Sigh!

Summary: True Jazz from True Jazz Artists
Comment: This album is one of my favorites because the band gels so nicely. Often times, you can set up the best musician at each spot and have absolutely no chemistry. In this case however, the best at each spot have tremendous chemistry. Green of course holds his own, but especially when he plays with Larry Young. "Somewhere in the Night" lets us hear Young's chords and tri-tones in a subtle setting, but it exemplifies his one-of-kind style and greatness. Jones doesn't need to do much but keep the rythym, which he always does very well. Hutcherson on the vibes...this guy kills. He adds a unique touch to these standards of which we are not accustomed to hearing with vibes included. But, it works...making this an excellent album, especially when you just wanna kick back and really enjoy and admire some real jazz.-Peace-

This album features the incredible trio of Green, organist Larry Young and drummer Elvin Jones with guest Bobby Hutcherson on vibes. Playing such lyrical standards as "Lazy Afternoon" and "Street Of Dreams," they create a riveting mood, never shying away from the challenge to create jazz of quality and depth.
