Lately I've been going through a lot of Herbie Hancock, as both leader and sideman, in my collection. Some of the most notable recordings are three Blue Note albums by Hutcherson, with Happenings and Oblique in quartet format. Naturally, Hancock is featured prominently, and he provides absolutely superb playing--from delicate lyricism to being pretty damned out on "Oblique" and "Bi-Sectional."
This is just about the best stuff you can hear in this format, virtually on a par with MJQ--bearing in mind that this group sounds nothing like MJQ. Or we can just look at these records as some of the most essential work of Hutcherson and Hancock--individually and together.
Unfortunately, the two musicians seemingly got together very rarely in later years.
Unless there are some things you can point to.
