This man collaborated with Gambian kora player Foday Musa Suso on Jazz Africa. He briefly took theSwahili name "Mwandishi," which sometimes refers to a set of three albums that also includes Crossingsand Sextant. This man's quintet V.S.O.P. reunited him with Ron Carter, Tony Williams, and WayneShorter, with Freddie Hubbard filling in for a by-then deceased Miles Davis. He won an Academy Awardfor his score to 'Round Midnight and also wrote the score for Blow-Up. His solo debut album, Takin' Off,features the song "Watermelon Man." For 10 points, name this keyboard player equally adept at post-bopand jazz fusion styles, whose funk-inspired 1973 album Headhunters became the best-selling jazz album ofall time.
