Evolution is the first album by the American trombonist Grachan Moncur III, recorded in 1963 and released on the Blue Note label.[2]
Reception
The Allmusic review by Steve Huey awarded the album 4½ stars and stated "With such an inventive debut, it's a shame Moncur didn't record more as a leader, which makes Evolution an even more important item for fans of Blue Note's avant-garde to track down".[3]
