Herbie Hancock – Maiden Voyage: Blue Note Classic Series (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Recorded just as Hancock was hitting his stride as a leader, *Maiden Voyage* captures a moment when acoustic jazz was pushing into genuinely new harmonic territory, built on the modal foundation Miles had laid with *Kind of Blue* but stretching further into impressionistic, open water. The rhythm section alone, Carter and Williams in their prime, makes this one of the most carefully listened-to records in any serious jazz education.
1965's Maiden Voyage remains one of the pinnacle artistic achievements of the great pianist's career. Hancock is joined by Miles Davis Quintet bandmates Ron Carter on bass & Tony Williams on drums, along with Freddie Hubbard on trumpet & George Coleman on tenor saxophone. The quintet embarks on an oceanic exploration of 5 original Hancock compositions, several of which have since become enduring standards of the jazz lexicon including the title track, "Eye of the Hurricane," & "Dolphin Dance."
