With Freddie Hubbard trumpet, Herbie Hancock piano, Ron Carter bass, Joe Chambers drums. 1965. Miles Smiles kind of thing.
With Jay Jay Johnson, Art Blakey, Paul Chambers… and Horace Silver and Monk sharing piano duties, and playing together in a ten-minute version of Misterioso. Lovely mono.
Still sealed.
With Alice Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, Gary Bartz, Ron Carter, Elvin Jones.
TW’s first Blue Note session was The Jody Grind. His debut as leader, at 23, Natural Essence is a winning mid-sixties set of his own compositions. Post-Trane dancers, jams; some lovely tunes. Woody Shaw, too.
From 1961 — with Fred Jackson and Grant Green.
