About the album

Grant Green recorded this in 1964, at the height of his Blue Note run, though it sat on the shelf until 1967. It's the gentle cousin of Idle Moments: no piano, just organ and vibes shimmering around his clean, singing guitar lines, with Elvin Jones brushing things along rather than pushing. Even the cover is a mood, a real street corner in San Francisco's North Beach.

AllMusic called it "a mellow, dreamy album that lives up to its title", and All About Jazz said anyone who loves Idle Moments would enjoy it. The tunes are unusual picks, "I Wish You Love", "Lazy Afternoon", "Somewhere In The Night" and the title song, and each one gets plenty of room. Ideal for a late Sunday, or a Tuesday that feels like one.
