In my opinion, Eddie Henderson’s realization is amazing, heavily influenced by miles davis’s works; with immaculate percussion & funky playing throughout the album. Especially great if you like jazz fusion/funk. Excellent the whole way through. Certainly, one of the best works of jazz fusion, in my opinion.

Personnel:

  • Eddie Henderson - trumpet, flugelhorn, cornet
  • Bennie Maupin - bass clarinet, flute, alto flute, tenor saxophone
  • Herbie Hancock - electric piano
  • Patrick Gleeson - synthesizer, organ
  • Buster Williams - bass, electric bass
  • Billy Hart - drums, percussion
  • Lenny White - drums

    The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out

    Sure, most know the song Take Five but the rest of the album is great as well!

      Yea, take five has certainly overshadowed the other tracks; not that they are any lesser than it. I guess this is because take five is a cooler song, while the other tracks are a bit more laid back. Nonetheless, a great album!

    John Coltrane - Ole. Not as acclaimed or well-known as something like Blue Train, A Love Supreme, or Giant Steps, but it’s still a great listen. It has such a dark and mysterious vibe to me, especially in the title track, that I dig wholeheartedly.

    Charles Mingus - Mingus Plays Piano

    The album is notable for Mingus’s departure from his usual role as composer and double-bassist in ensemble recordings, instead playing piano without any additional musicians.

    And it’s all improvised.

    From left to right- Bill Evans. One of my all time favorites. He uses a mix between a classic Steinway piano and a fender Rhodes piano which is my favorite sounding electric piano.

    Thanks for the recs guys. I will surely check them out. Another album, that I have heard, that is underrated is Sonny Criss’s Sonny’s Dream (Birth of the New Cool): absolutely fine album, reminiscient of Horace Tapscott’s big band stuff (due to him being the composer & arranger).
