Herbie Hancock – Maiden Voyage (CD)
Product Details
Recorded in 1965 with a quintet that included Freddie Hubbard, George Coleman, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams, Maiden Voyage arrived at a moment when Hancock was pushing modal jazz toward something more atmospheric and compositionally daring. The ocean-themed suite format was still a radical idea in hard bop circles, and the album's influence ripples through decades of jazz piano that followed.
With Maiden Voyage, Hancock fashioned a modern jazz milestone with extraordinary compositions, interplay and solos. The result: every single cut here - from the haunting "Maiden Voyage" to the gentle, swinging "Dolphin Dance" - has found it's way into the standard jazz repertoire. This Rudy Van Gelder Edition reissue features 24-bit, state-of-the-art remastering and is part of Blue Note's 60th Anniversary celebration.
