Musica Del Mar

I had fufilled my four albums with Xanadu Records and then I was able to get Concord Records, based in San Francisco, to record two new records. Musica Del Mar is the first one of the two. I met up with pianist George Cables, drummer Eddie Moore, and my long time compadre Bob Magnusson in San Francisco to lay down a set of straight ahead jazz tunes with my tricky arrangements and also a few of my original compositions. High points on this record are George's solo on Musica Del Mar and the cool melding of Bach's Invention in D with a tune I wrote for Charles McPherson called Chanting With Charles. This is one of the tunes that we're still playing today.
