  1. OK, how about some more of the John Coltrane Quartet, augmented with a brass section arranged by Eric Dolphy and McCoy Tyner, representing wildlife? Dense, layered, modal, gorgeous. Listen to "Africa" (1961):

    #JohnColtrane (tenor)
    #McCoyTyner (piano)
    #ReggieWorkman (bass)
    #ElvinJones (drumming)

    and more!, if you check Wikipedia.

  2. So what would happen if you put Wayne Shorter in front of John Coltrane's rhythm section? Blue Note records asked this question! Listen to "Twelve More Bars to Go," from "Juju" (1965):

  3. Marion Brown - "Vista" (1975)

    Another new reissue on Impulse! Records. Somehow I never got around to hearing this before. It's an absolute classic of the Impulse catalog, and a terrific recording.

    Features several great musicians, including #MarionBrown #AnthonyDavis #StanleyCrowell #EdBlackwell #ReggieWorkman and none other than #HaroldBudd on celesta and gong. They play one of Budd's songs too.
