Aged just 19, with Pepper Adams, Bobby Timmons, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones. Though so early, this is a crucial set, kicking off with a scorching, fresh A Night in Tunisia.
Timmons plays a blinder.

Remarkable 1966 lineup, with James Spaulding, Lee Morgan, Howard Johnson and Kiane Ziwadi in the brass line — the title track reminds you where the Hypnotics are coming from — and McCoy Tyner, besides.

From 1969, with Harold Land, Stanley Cowell, Reggie Johnson, and Joe Chambers, coolly charting a path all their own, out of the tumultuous decade.

From 1969, this first collaboration with Harold Land — questing but chilled post-bop — is probably the best.
Steeped in the compositions of Joe Chambers, the closer Pompeian is a tour de force; opening as a waltz, detouring into moody marimba.

Bringing the funk in 1968, with George Benson, Lonnie Smith, Blue Mitchell, and Leo Morris (who became Idris Muhammed)... not forgetting Dapper Dan.

With George Coleman, Joe Farrell, Pepper Adams, Wilbur Little, and Candido.

With Alice Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, Gary Bartz, Ron Carter, Elvin Jones.

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.
