The trumpeter created some of the coolest jazz of the 20th century, but he also unleashed some of the most experimental. For example, dig his '70s albums, where you'll find electro-acoustic funk with percussion and horns splattered on like paint (“Helen Butte / Mr. Freedom X”), feverish groove propulsion dosed with nervous guitar chatter and wah-wah trumpet (“Mtume”), and '60s folk-rock transformed into raga-tinged psychedelic jazz (“Guinnevere”).
