‘Classic Vinyl Series.’

On the wing with Paul Chambers, and — Miles’ idea — two Latin percussionists, Willie Bobo on drums and timbales, and Osvaldo ‘Chihuahua’ Martinez, conga and bongo.

His third Blue Note as leader, in 1964, with Kenny Dorham, McCoy Tyner, Richard Davis and Elvin Jones. Rhythmically rooted in Trane, unsurprisingly, but Dorham and especially Henderson go their own searching, purposeful ways. The first three are his own compositions. Ace.

A cor-blimey line-up, and a masterpiece, recorded on the first day of spring in 1964. Dorham, Dolphy, Joe Henderson, Richard Davis, Tony Williams.

His first quartet session as leader — with Herbie, Joe Chambers and Bob Cranshaw. Seven BH originals and Maiden Voyage. A kind of breather, in amongst his experiments at this time; relaxed, gorgeous and atmospheric, with brilliant playing.
Warmly recommended.
