That timing matters, because you can hear him stretching hard bop toward something more open and searching while still keeping one foot firmly in the blues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core band is a serious draw in itself, with Donald Byrd on trumpet, Herbie Hancock on piano, Butch Warren on bass, and Tony Williams on drums.
