Recorded in Paris, 1965, at the time of the Vietnam peace talks. ‘Donald Byrd occasionally played with us at the Blue Note, so he came in and helped produce the record.’

A moving, lovely, heartfelt tribute, seamlessly combining jazz-funk, soul, gospel, Black Jazz, bebop, Latin, spoken word and co, with palpably higher concerns than genre and market. Released in 1976 on his own imprint by the jazz veteran — sixties cohort of Eric Dolphy, Ray Charles, Donald Byrd and the rest —  alongside the all-time classic If.

Wonderful, never-before-released collaborations with the brilliant pianist Georges Arvanitas and his trio, in 1966-67, kicking off with The Hip Walk.

From the 1965 LP Happy Girl, with the knockout lineup of Woody Shaw, Larry Young, Jimmy Woode and Billy Brooks. A fierce modal original by Shaw, Theme From Zoltan was revisited by Young the following year on his classic Blue Note album Unity. Davis’ own composition Mister E features blistering solos by himself, Shaw and Young.
