...Gary Chase, 15, on drums, Wilford Chapron, 16, on bass. Wilford joined the trio on the Mathis tour, replacing Craig's original bassist, Jay Jay Wiggins...
...misty orchestrations of Speak and Goodbye to Childhood (with Thad Jones on flügelhorn, Peter Phillips on bass trombone and Jerry Dodgion on alto flute). In Riot, First Trip and Sorcerer, the piano skips along with mellow modal lines and bright blues splashes. Drummer Mickey Roker and Bassist Ron Carter are Hancock's hearty helpers...

Bassist Ron Carter lays the undertone for Pianist Herbie Hancock's inimitable brush strokes of color, while Miles quavers the quintessential, kaleidoscopic themes...
