Product Information

Herbie Hancock added three more horns to his already rich sounding sextet for this beautifully arranged album that comines the flavor of his "Speak Like A Child" album and the Miles Davis Quintet. Hancock, Joe Henderson and Johnny Coles are the chief soloists. Highlights include "The Prisoner", "I Have A Dream" and Buster Williams's "Firewater".

The CD includes two alternate takes, previously available in the box set The Complete Herbie Hancock Blue note Sessions.

Press comments

W. Stiefele in Scala Nr. 3 / 98: "Großartig, wie die Rhythmusgruppe Spannung schafft und Hancocks Arrange- ments die Klangfarben der sechs Bläser auskosten. Ein Juwel des Akustik-Jazz." ROLLING STONE ALBUM GUIDE ***1 / 2
