Album Description One of the most beautiful and unusual albums in Herbie Hancock's vast discography, this 1968 set features a trio with Ron Carter and Mickey Roker supported by an unusual horn section (Thad Jones on fluegelhorn, Peter Phillips on bass trombone and Jerry Dodgion on alto flute) that does not solo but provides inventive Gil Evans-inspired voicings. Miles Davis had recorded two of these tunes ("Riot" and "The Sorcerer") the previous year, but they take on a whole different approach here. Three alternate takes, previously available only in a Hancock box set, are included on the gorgeous Van Gelder remaster. * bonus tracks, not part of the original LP Recorded on March 6 (#1-3, 7, 8) and March 9 (#4-6, 9), 1968 at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey THAD JONES, fluegelhorn; PETER PHILLIPS, bass trombone; JERRY DODGION, alto flute; HERBIE HANCOCK, piano; RON CARTER, bass; MICKEY ROKER, drums Similar CDs

CD ReviewsHancock's second classic Blue Note album Dennis W. Wong | 06/05/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "I know one reviewed knocked one star off this classic album because it wasn't as great as "Maiden Voyage" but I'm still giving it 5 stars because it holds its own as great chamber jazz. I think Herbie accomplished his goal of creating an album that could come off as an "easy listening jazz side" or an orchestra jazz piece like Gil Evans (definitely an influence on Herbie). Another influence you hear throughout this wonderful album is Bill Evans particularly in his "Goodbye to Childhood" tracks. Maybe this lacks a Freddie Hubbard or George Coleman or the dynamics of Tony Williams who would've been too over-powering (Mickey Roker does fine here) but Herbie's intent is to focus on the music and not the soloing though he contributes a fine solo on the un-issued take of "Goodbye to Childhood". For all who are romantics at heart, this album is an antidote to the so-called New Age Music--relish it at your will!!"
