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.
‘Classic Vinyl Series.’
‘Classic Vinyl.’
‘Rhino Reserve, cut from analog tape.’
Amazing lineup — and a cool reworking of Watermelon Man.
Anthony Williams, Chuck Israels, Grant Green, Grachan Moncur, Hank Mobley.

Stretching out in 1965, with John Gilmore, Joe Chambers and co, two extra percussionists, and two bassists on one track. Abstract, fierce, textured, compelling.
Her funkiest record — Eastern-style settings of the writings of Omar Khayyam — with electrified harp, vibes and Japanese koto wrapped up in Richard Evans’ soulful arrangements.
‘Verve By Request.’
‘Ultimate HQ CD’ from Japan, using the recent Craft transfers and mastering.
‘Classic Vinyl.’
‘Great Black Music’, and funny.
