Grachan Moncur III - Evolution (UHQ-CD)
Though he first appeared on Herbie Hancockās 1963 albumĀ My Point of View, trombonistĀ Grachan Moncur IIIās first true Blue Note introduction would come on two albums by saxophonistĀ Jackie McLeanĀ that were recorded later that year:Ā One Step BeyondĀ andĀ Destination⦠Out!Ā These two great inside-out sessions presented a spacious new sound that moved fluidly between avant-garde and post-bop territory with McLean featuring Moncurās singular compositions. Several months later Moncur returned to Van Gelder Studio to record his own remarkable debut albumĀ Evolution, which remains a marvel of the Blue Note catalog. For the date the trombonist assembled an exceptional ensemble that returned several musicians including McLean, vibraphonistĀ Bobby Hutcherson, and drummerĀ Tony Williams, with the addition ofĀ Lee MorganĀ on trumpet andĀ Bob CranshawĀ on bass. The band delivers dynamic performances of four expansive original pieces by Moncur: āAir Raid,ā āEvolution,ā āThe Coaster,ā and āMonk In Wonderland.ā
UHQ-CDās reproduce the sound of original master tapes as faithfully as possible by utilizing new transfer technologies and improved materials to produce high-quality sound with a better representation of the whole stage. UHQ-CDs comply with CD standards and can be played on existing players. Each title is presented in a UHQ-CD jewel case with an obi-strip and the original sleeve notes reproduced on the back inlay.
