Yes, I had mentioned Golson and The Jazztet in my post. Unfortunately, in spite of the excellence of the group, which originally included McCoy Tyner and Curtis Fuller along with Art's brother Addison on bass and Lex Humphries on drums, and featured Golson compositions like Killer Joe, Blues March and especially I Remember Clifford that are now jazz standards, The Jazztet never really caught on the way it should have. Although not as hard driving, it was at least the equal of of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and the Horace Silver Quintet. Perhaps it was just too smooth and polished to survive long term in the era of hard bop.
