Question

A track by this musician was re-recorded with a choir for his mentor’s album Up with Donald Byrd.

This musician began using electric instruments like the Fender (-5[1])Rhodes while a member of Miles Davis’s Second Great Quintet. A track by this musician begins with percussionist Bill Summers imitating hindewhu music by blowing (10[1])into beer bottles. That song is the opening track of this musician’s debut album Takin’ Off, and was recorded in a funk style on his album Head Hunters.
