Product Description:
This languid, seductive gem may well be Grant Green's greatest moment on record. Right from the opening bars of the classic title cut, Idle Moments is immediately ingratiating and accessible, featuring some of Green's most stylish straight jazz playing. Whether he's running warm (pianist Duke Pearson's "Idle Moments"), cool (the Modern Jazz Quartet's "Django"), or a bit more up-tempo (Pearson's "Nomad," his own "Jean de Fleur"), Green treats the material with the graceful elegance that was the hallmark of his best hard bop sessions, and that quality achieves its fullest expression here. He's helped by an ensemble that, as a sextet, is slightly larger and fuller-sounding than usual, and there's plenty of room for solo explorations on the four extended pieces. Pearson's touch on the piano is typically warm, while two players best known on Blue Note for their modernist dates mellow out a bit ? the cool shimmer of Bobby Hutcherson's vibes is a marvelously effective addition to the atmosphere, while Joe Henderson plays with a husky, almost Ike Quebec-like breathiness. That cushion of support helps spur Green to some of the loveliest, most intimate performances of his career ? no matter what the tempo, it's as if his guitar is whispering secrets in your ear. It's especially true on the dreamy title track, though: a gorgeous, caressing, near-15-minute excursion that drifts softly along like a warm, starry summer night. Even more than the two-disc set The Complete Quartets With Sonny Clark, Idle Moments is the essential first Green purchase, and some of the finest guitar jazz of the hard bop era.

Joshua Redman Freedom in the Groove 1996 [rapidshare/jazz/mp3 odwnload]

Joshua Redman Freedom in the Groove 1996





The title Freedom in the Groove expresses the challenge saxophonist Joshua Redman has set for himself: is it possible to practice true jazz improvisation within the soul, funk, and hip-hop rhythms of the past 30 years? Redman takes a different approach than most fusion experiments; instead of plugging in, he has retained his acoustic pianist Peter Martin and his acoustic bassist Christopher Thomas, and has added only electric guitarist Peter Bernstein, who plays more in the hollow-body style of Kenny Burrell than the solid-body style of Mike Stern. Redman responds to this stimulus with sax solos that more than ever resemble gospel-soul singer vocals--at once boldly assertive, yet confessionally open.

The opening track, "Hide & Seek" starts with a slick intro in which Redman does some slap tonging and some altissimo hits, then slides into a nice funky groove.

What a rhythm section -- Brian Blade on drums (probably one of the greatest living drummers nowadays), Peter Martin on keys (It's not Brad Melhdau (sp?), but this cat can swing), Peter Bernstein on guitar, and Christopher Thomas on bass.

Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Lost Trident Sessions [rapidshare/jazz/mp3 download]

Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Lost Trident Sessions

---

Recorded in London on June 25, 1973, these sessions for a planned third Mahavishnu Orchestra album were shelved when the band decided to put out the live Between Nothingness and Eternity instead. Bootleg reaching his most feverish pitches in the frenetic concluding passage of the ten-minute "Trilogy." The numbers written by other members than ged in the past, two-track mixes of the missing album were discovered in the vaults in the late 1990s, paving the way for its official release in 1999. It's thus the last of the three studio albums done by the original Mahavishnu lineup (with Cobham on drums, Goodman on violin, Hammer on keyboards and Laird on bass). Although McLaughlin had been the only composer on the first two Mahavishnu albums, he only penned half of the six tracks here, with Goodman, Hammer and Laird pitching in a song each. It's fiery, if perhaps over-busy at times, fusion, McLaughlinMcLaughlin tend to be a little more subdued, and perhaps unsurprisingly less inclined toward burning guitar solos.
