Yes!  :tup 

If anyone wants to hear more of that same trio -- minus Carter -- they made a terrific album titled Ramira the Dancer for Spotlite in 1977.  (The trio is augmented with percussionist Ralph Dorsey.)

 

Yep .... btw also on "Midnight Creeper" (Milljac) from 1980 ....

Herbie Hancock “Maiden Voyage” Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD
Got in my June batch of this series in from CDJapan today. This sounds really good. . . or at least does as well as I can decipher while listening upstairs here as it pours rain outside.

Next up, music from fellow forum member @Gheorghe:

Bop Explosion - Waltz for Serena (Alessa Records, 2024)

Anyone who enjoys classic bop groups like The Jazztet or Gigi Gryce & Donald Byrd's Jazz Lab Quintet -- or more contemporary groups like One for All -- might want to give Waltz for Serena a listen.  Every soloists in the band is rock-solid, and the music is bolstered further still by the impressive compositions (including six originals by Gheorghe) and thoughtful arrangements that lend the music (at times) a chamber-like quality.  One should note that when I use the term "chamber-like," it's bebop chamber jazz a la Benny Golson or Gigi Gryce.  Because this music is more reminiscent of The Jazztet than, say, the more classically-oriented chamber jazz of the MJQ.  After all, the band's name is Bop Explosion! 

Well done, @Gheorghe:) 

 

Thank you so much for that kind review. Glad you enjoyed it !
