This is part of the Blue Note Rudy Van Gelder Editions series.
It was always a part of Blue Note's development and marketing to introduce new artists as sidemen on more well-known leaders' projects before giving them dates of their own. The system worked pretty well, and the irony is that a release like 1963's IDLE MOMENTS looks likes more of an all-star session in retrospect. Sure, we get to hear Grant Green stretching out. But we also get Bobby Hutcherson and Joe Henderson, who were just winning their first Downbeat polls at the time.
Green himself had come through this system, appearing with organ combos and on other hard bop sessions, before graduating to his own Blue Note dates. IDLE MOMENTS may be one of his finest dates in the studio, simply on the strength of the elegant melancholy of the title cut and the deep groove the band settles into on "Django." Green's playing has much in common with that of such labelmates as saxophonist Stanley Turrentine and pianist Gene Harris. He manages to bring solid bebop sensibilities to a spare, down-home approach and delivers it all with an oaken tone at once dry, dark, and full of character.

Review of Idle Hands - Original Soundtrack by  elfbwillow

Advantages: Some Great Instrumentals
Disadvantages: Adult Content

...I brought this CD quite a few years ago now, so although the actual soundtrack is not a new one, it still remains a popular purchase. As the years have gone by, my tastes have changed and so no longer listen to the CD, though for those who enjoy this type of genre, then they will love it. The Idle Hands CD contains music from the motion picture distributed back in 1999. ******Background on the Movie****** Although you certainly do not need to have watched the movie to love this CD, I thought that a short synopsis of Idle Hands the movie is relevant to this review. Idle Hands is classed as a comedy/horror, though in my opinion, it is more teen comedy than anything else. It is also rated an 18, as is the soundtrack due to numerous adult content in the lyrics (more information below) The story follows 17 year old Anton... Read review

Oh frot - Grant without Naylor
Review of Colony - Rob Grant by  MichelleScott

Advantages: A bit like Red Dwarf
Disadvantages: Not enough like Red Dwarf

...Rob Grant is half of the comedy writing partnership that created the cult comedy, Red Dwarf (the other half being Doug Naylor). Grant without Naylor is like any good comedy partnership - they are both good in on their own, but better together. Red Dwarf has lost it’s edge since Rob Grant left. Which was why I bought this book. Hmm. I forgot that Rob Grant was responsible for the Sky One ‘comedy’ The Strangerers. Mysteriously popular, I found The Strangerers incomprehensible and ridiculous. Grant without Naylor doesn’t so much verge on silliness as wallow in it. He has the ideas, the wit, the classic put-downs, but something is missing. He comes across as an eternal student, this book has the feel of a rag-mag. I found it hard to get into and didn’t warm to his characters, but I will probably read it... Read review

Never a dull moment? - not really
Review of Never A Dull Moment [Remastered] - Rod Stewart by  JOHNV

Advantages: Unerringly good songs and playing
Disadvantages: Total playing time a little on the short side

...When Rod Stewart returned to the studio to follow up the massively successful "Every Picture Tells a Story", he had a lot to live up to. Wisely he stuck to the tried and tested formula, switching from acoustic folksy ballads to good-time rock'n'roll with ease, sometimes in the same song. While "Moment" didn't have quite the same impact as "EPTAS" - expectations were sky-high, after all - it was just as good, and certainly fulfilled its swaggering title. Rod had immaculate taste when it came to cover versions, taking on Hendrix's love-lorn "Angel" with ease, going into roistering party mode with Sam Cooke's "Twistin' The Night Away", a version which for a while became even better-known than the original, and best of all treating us to a beautiful reading of the obscure Dylan song "Mama You Been On My Mind", making skilful use...
