Khan Jamal - the guy's albums are amazing - not only great vibe playing, great compositions! I really liked an album of his called "Three."

That's it!! I Heard him years ago in Wuppertal (Germany) with Sunny Murray! What a concert!
Did you ever listen to the great CIMP-Records he made (with Grachan Moncur, f.e.).?
Greetings from Bonn!
