The rhythm section here, Carter and the then-17-year-old Tony Williams, represents one of the great underrated partnerships in acoustic jazz, and hearing it cut from the original tapes makes the case for why Blue Note's Classic Vinyl series exists in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePianist Herbie Hancock showcased the full breadth of his artistry on his masterful 4th Blue Note album Empyrean Isles recorded in 1964.
