Description
One of the New Things few trombonists and a greatly underappreciated composer of tremendous evocative power, Grachan Moncur III got his first major exposure on Jackie McLeans groundbreaking 1963 masterpiece, One Step Beyond. Toward the end of the year, most of the same musicians reconvened for Moncurs debut as a leader, Evolution; McLean, vibist Bobby Hutcherson, and drummer Tony Williams are all back, with Bob Cranshaw on bass and an extra voice in trumpeter Lee Morgan. While Moncur takes a little more solo space here, the main emphasis is on his talent as a composer.
Personnel: Grachan Moncur III (trombone), Lee Morgan (trumpet), Jackie McLean (alto saxophone), Bobby Hutcherson (vibes), Bob Cranshaw (bass), Anthony Williams (drums)
