Do the Horn's Full liner notes mention a model for the lady? Suzanne sees a strong resemblance to a French actress.

Rhumba Nhumba: good title, good music.

No mention of the lady's name. She was last seen the the bell of a tuba in a Christmas parade.
Indeed, a classic yet now overlooked blue note session by walter davis jr.

Dig.

Also liked Watermelon Man, wh surprised us, as we had a vague idea that we didn't like Herbie Hancock. (Remember, not all your listeners are among the most knowledgeable.)

Footnote: two belated Treasure votes.
