★Time and troubles seem to melt away during the fifteen enrapturing minutes of “Idle Moments,” the opening track of Grant Green’s sublime 1963 album of the same name. As the piece unhurriedly unfurls all the unique colours of the ensemble present themselves with Green’s soulful guitar joined by Duke Pearson’s elegant piano, Bobby Hutcherson’s crystalline vibraphone, Bob Cranshaw’s reassuring upright bass, Al Harewood’s subtle drums, and Joe Henderson’s magnificent tenor saxophone. The pace quickens for the rest of this tremendous set including the nimble Green original “Jean de Fleur,” a bluesy take on John Lewis’ MJQ standard “Django,” and a driving performance of Pearson’s original “Nomad.”
★This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
  完美掌控中音薩克斯風、長笛及低音單簧管等多種器樂的天才型樂手艾瑞克‧杜菲，歷經奇哥‧漢米爾頓及查理‧明格斯領軍樂團歷練後悟思出不對稱節奏的演繹方式，故開始以突破傳統桎梏的非主流創作、稜角分明的恣意吹奏及晦暗陰森的低沈音色獨樹一幟，成為五０年代末期起最受矚目的前衛爵士樂風領導者，撐起指標性大纛勇往直前，為下一階段的爵士流派奠定下深厚根基。每種音樂類型都有所謂「天才」人物，他們通常短命但鋒芒畢露，比方搖滾樂裡的Jimi Hendrix、爵士樂裡的Charlie Parker，以及艾瑞克．杜菲。艾瑞克．杜菲是演奏全才，中音薩克斯風、長笛和低音黑管都是他擅長的樂器。如果說查理．帕克打破傳統爵士框架，那艾瑞克．杜菲企圖打破的不但是咆勃樂的框架，更要衝破聆聽者對於音樂想像的框架。
