Case in point, this reissue of Where?. Dolphy is playing his role beside Carter and also making space for Mal Waldron who was an idiosyncratic (and great) musician himself.

That's fair. I'm honestly just starting to pay attention to the players on other records now. I just never did it for the longest time. Jazz is amazing when you start to recognize names from solo albums as players on other albums. Sounds silly that I never really did it until now. It's like lyrics, I just never looked them up so I never know the words to my favorite songs.
