It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Alright, then,

and I promise, no Googling involved. The TW record featured DH on sax, BH on vibes, with the rythmn section rounded out by MM and RC. If I didn't know this record by heart I might have been hard pressed to guess DH, even though I've heard him live a bunch. RC's sound on this record is typical of the way he was recorded in that period. Some love it, some don't. One thing they never could ruin was his perfect note choice, his glorious beat, and his creativity. His recorded sound has, once again, changed at this point in time. Its core has been constant for nearly 45 years.
The RM record featured TB on trumpet, with BG, piano, PW, bass, and KW, drums. TB, as HIS sound has changed due to a ground- up embrouchure change after blowing out his chops awhile back, might be another difficult one to guess. He is capable of some very warm ballad playing IMHO, which was brought to the fore, more than ever, when he joined up with Ivan Lins, awhile back.
The JC track features the classic RG trio (PC and AT), about which there is nothing left to say, except that, amazingly, RG said in print that HIS personal favorite of his trios was the one with Specs Wright and Doug Watkins. You've heard them on the record they made with Coleman Hawkins on Moodsville, and on the few trio sides they also recorded that day. What an embarrassment of riches- a choice between those two bass- drum teams!

P
