I grew up on this stuff, so definitely biased, but if Gordon Johnson is is in the replies on YouTube (and commenting favorably on Gary King's bass), I give that more than a little credit. <grin>

A lot of 'Stuff' in there. If you get that you are as old as me.

Colby had a sound and style that stuck with me.
How he 'chipped' at notes and then bent them wherever he wanted was impressive.

May want to follow up with this to relax a bit

My first introduction to Mark was here (with Maynard)

or here if you prefer Live (and Gordon Johnson bass solo thrown it for free)

He is a real talent. Glad if I've introduced anyone new or jarred memories of oldies..
