1984 · Decoy and 1 more
Charnett Moffett released his debut as a leader, Net Man, in 1987 — but two years earlier, at just seventeen, he'd already played on Black Codes, a landmark modern-jazz record. His own debut turned into a family session, joined by his father Charles Moffett, his brother Cody Moffett, and percussionist Mino Cinelu.
1989 · Amandla
Garrett joined Miles Davis
1983 · Star People
When John Scofield joined Miles Davis's band in November 1982, it left two guitarists standing in the lineup. By Scofield's account, Miles liked putting two players of the same instrument together to make them compete — deliberately building the kind of redundancy most bandleaders take pains to avoid.

1987 · Net Man
Charnett Moffett's 1987 debut Net Man, recorded at age 20, turned out to be a family affair — his father Charles Moffett and brother Cody Moffett both played on it — with veteran drummer Al Foster also sitting in.
1993 · Softly
Tom Rainey's name now travels with free improvisation. But the paper trail here runs the other way: from Forward Motion (1991) to Passion Flower (1996), it is mostly standards work in Fred Hersch's group — the avant-garde drummer's documented decade is a piano trio.
