Genre: Jazz
Places I remember: Taupo's My Music
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: The Eye Of The Hurricane
Gear costume: Maiden Voyage
Active compensatory factors: This is cerebral jazz, as opposed to the last two entries in the countdown (Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis and Pete Fountain). Instead of unmitigated fun, I can tell that Herbie carefully constructs his music to replicate sounds he hears. Apparently this is a concept album, in which he aims to create music that centres on the features and movements of an ocean.

Deep, rewarding music is what this is all about.
Musicians helping Herbie out are Ron Carter on bass, Anthony Williams on drums, Freddie Hubbard - trumpet and George Coleman - tenor sax.
Apart from Herbie, the other star here is George Coleman. I don't know too much about him but he is amazing on this album. After Hubbard's (pretty impressive) solo on Survival Of The Fittest, George takes a turn and takes the song in another direction while following the drums and having a dialogue with the piano. It's pretty impressive!
Where do they all belong? The catch up of recent jazz purchases continues - next up is a Gerry Mulligan and Paul Desmond.
