Reggie Workman – Conversation (1977)

Conversation (written by Sonelius Smith) is the B-side on the album  Conversation by Reggie Workman First , recorded at Sound Ideas Studios, New York City. N.Y. December 19, 1977, and released on Denon in 1979.

Reggie Workman has long been one of the most technically gifted of all bassists, a brilliant player whose versatile style fits into both hard bop and very avant-garde settings. He played piano, tuba, and euphonium early on but settled on bass in the mid-’50s. [source]
