Hilton Ruiz is the piano player and Herbie Lewis is the bassist in the Quartet. i remember seeing this group many times and even sitting in with them. The tune is "Inga" written by the great Billy Higgins. It was recorded previously by Clifford Jordan w. Cedar Walton, Sam Jones and Higgins on Firm Roots album (Steeplechase). Very worthwhile version (and album) to listen to if you can find it.
THE great George Coleman no less. One of the most underrated tenor sax players on the planet. I love this guy's playing; inventive, advanced harmonically, circular breathing, the whole thing. A wonderful upload-thank you!

vova47 Thanks for the info on Hilton and Herbie. I recognized Billy.
George has such a unique and distinctive style that can't be duplicated. He is one of the few "true" miracles on the tenor saxophone.
Love Coleman very melodic player, always enjoyable. He was never mentioned in the Miles documentary.

First jazz concert I ever witnessed was this band, at Crystal Gardens, Victoria, BC. Astonishing.
Excellent!
