With the Turrentines. ‘Classic Vinyl Series.’

His debut, from 1976; emerging from the tutelage of Gary Burton. Lovely, out-in-the-wide-open Americana Jazz, with dazzlingly lithe bass-playing by Jaco Pastorius. Bob Moses nails it, too. It’s never sounded better than in this iteration as part of the Luminessence Series. Hang about for the Ornette cover, wrapping things up.

Superb organ jazz from 1965, with Grant Green, Bobby Hutcherson and Otis Finch. Latona was the Jazz Dance weapon; One Step Ahead is knockout, too. A classic Blue Note.
‘Ultimate HQ CD’ from Japan, using the same Craft transfers and mastering.

Flexing, in 1965, with Blue Mitchell (trumpet), Harold Vick (tenor sax), Grant Green (guitar), John Patton (organ) and Ben Dixon (drums) — not to mention Fat Judy.

With Donald Byrd and Johnny Coles, Bob Cranshaw, Walter Perkins.

It’s a Christmas album but fear ye not. It’s from the same six months as How Insensitive and Now Hear This, with Airto running between these sessions and the recording of Bitches Brew. Try the grooving opener, with DP alternating on piano and celeste.

Sensational fusion of modal jazz and flamenco, with members of Tete Montoliu’s group, and the mighty Paco DeLucia, dazzling on electric guitar. Hotly recommended.
