When this music was first released on vinyl back many many decades ago I loved it immediately. With Jackie McLean, Bill Hardman and Art Blakey, The title of the album says it all. Was highly pleased when Mosaic reissued it on CD.

Evolution' is a super deep, ‘lost classic’ radical and groundbreaking deep spiritual jazz album, apparently. I definitely know his name, can't think from where at the moment

It's definitely worth a stream. Quite unique. It suffers from tracks being too short and fading out, but there are lots of interesting ideas.

Is that David Lee the Sonny Rollins drummer?

This is on some commercial now.

Apparently jingle-writing is going out of style?

[clifford_thornton]

yes, the same David Lee.

I quite like that record, but haven't dug it out in a very long time.

[JSngry]

Then I have that record, and concur with the comments above. I still wonder whatever happened to him. Helluva good drummer.

NP thanks to a Spotify suggestion:

Transparent, you can listen and not listen, if you know what I mean. In a good way.

Thanks, I will hunt it down for a stream.

I realise I was thinking of another David Lee, a bass player with the Bill Smith Ensemble.

This guy is a drummer, and it is a drummer's album. 

It's a weird one. A bit like a soundtrack or library record in the way it presents short snippets of excellent ideas but then moves on too fast.

Allen Lowe, “Louis Armstrong’s America Volume 1” disc 2

 

 

Fascinating set. Like a bizarro universe at times, but truly involving.

I hadn't realised that it was out yet. Just purchased and will be listening to it tomorrow. Great track titles.

though I don´t have that album from the great iugoslav trumpetist Dușco Goicovici it must be an extraordinar one with them great musicians, I´d say some of the very best. Like a Dream Band ! 

I had first heard Dușco on an Enia Record titled "After Hours" . 

 

The thing with Woody Shaw, I have an album of them playing at Uncle Poe´s in Hamburg, Germania, and it is great. 
But I was a bit astonished that the most prominent of them all, Woody Shaw did not get top billing, 
Stafford James remained Woody´s bassist, but I saw him with Tony Reedus on drums, who was also great !
