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

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!
Ahmad Jamal - The Awakening
Space, space, and more space.
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.
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.
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).
