In my opinion, Eddie Henderson's realization is amazing, heavily influenced by miles davis's works; with immaculate percussion & funky playing throughout the album. Especially great if you like jazz fusion/funk. Excellent the whole way through. Certainly, one of the best works of jazz fusion, in my opinion.

Personnel:

Eddie Henderson - trumpet, flugelhorn, cornet
Bennie Maupin - bass clarinet, flute, alto flute, tenor saxophone
Herbie Hancock - electric piano
Patrick Gleeson - synthesizer, organ
Buster Williams - bass, electric bass
Billy Hart - drums, percussion
Lenny White - drums

Thanks for the recs guys. I will surely check them out. Another album, that I have heard, that is underrated is Sonny Criss's Sonny's Dream (Birth of the New Cool): absolutely fine album, reminiscient of Horace Tapscott's big band stuff (due to him being the composer & arranger).
