Idle Moments (The Rudy Van Gelder Edition) · 1965
Amp settings (as recorded)
The recording
Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, in November 1963. The session was produced by Alfred Lion. Grant Green led a quartet featuring Joe Henderson (tenor sax), Bobby Hutcherson (vibraphone), Duke Pearson (piano), Bob Cranshaw (bass), and Al Harewood (drums). The tone captured is largely a direct product of the studio's acoustics and the specific voicing of Green's archtop and tube amplification, with no artificial reverb plate effect added at the source.
