"However, this particular idiom, with its emphasis on tight unison melodies, complex modal harmony, and a strong intellectual tilt, was defined less by Davis or Coltrane than by their sidemen, who produced many of the classic studio albums found in any serious jazz collection."
"Jackie McLean and Lee Morgan were both established masters of late-'50s hard bop but embraced the new idiom enthusiastically. Joe Henderson and Freddie Hubbard were the first wave of post-Trane, post-Miles avatars."
"After 1967, studio sessions became drastically less numerous. Between the deaths of Coltrane and Morgan, only bits and pieces of what was happening made it onto professionally engineered tape."
