I agree with all the other reviews on the album , well nearly all . As my title says , why for Gods sake did H.Hancock and co put this has been in on what is a good listening album - but Leonard "let me open a vein to" Cohen on a Jazz album !!???? He can't sing - never could , never will , and the only reason that I can think of why he's on this album is because he's from Canada . The track is not "interesting" it's bloody awful and the producers should hang thier heads in shame .

Like the sea itself, Maiden Voyage is vast and epic- flirting with adventure and myth. It is Herbie Hancock's tour de force- what the wonderous Speak No Evil was to his Blue Note peer, Wayne Shorter- ie. representing the composer/pianist at his imaginitive peak. We can only imagine what kind of zone Freddie Hubbard, George Coleman, Ron Carter and Tony Williams must have been during the recording of this masterpiece- so wonderfully coherent yet brimming with subtle musical conflict. And Hancock's playing is simply majestic. The opening track is stunningly simple- you might feel a little uninspired by the low-key opening, but then, all of a sudden, it all opens out beautifully during the trumpet solo. This short flourish embodies the ... Read More:

If you are not much into jazz, art, inovation, genius or music AVOID this album. Saw this album reviewed in a mag, bought it! BIG BIG mistake I am now a smooth jazz Funk junky, I know nothing of jazz, smooth sounds but lovein it. It will change your take on music. So if your safe in your bubble stay there, if you want to start a musical journey, start here.

If I had to give one reason for buying this album, it would be the track "Four a.m." It is one of Jaco Pastorius's best recorded performances. It must been one of those days when Jaco turned up clean and sober to a recording session and really engaged with the music. When you listen to him play like this, you are reminded of what a total genius he was; it also makes his needless and tragic death all the more galling.

Recorded in the late 70's, but only widely issued fairly recently, the piano is an essential disc for fan's of herbie hancock. Whilst not necessarily the first cd a curious listener should pick up (blue note discs like maiden voyage and empyrian isles, or the funky headhunters album are the best starting place), it comes highly recommended. Basically falling into 2 sections, the cd consists of 3 unique readings of jazz standards (my funny valentine, someday my prince will come and on green dolphin street) and 4 originals. The approach to the standards is very laid back and modern in outlook (especially in terms of the voicing) , but with the driving sense of ryhthm common to herbie's playing. The originals show the most stylistic variety. ... Read More:

9.Speak Like a Child: Remastered by: Herbie Hancock February 28, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.99 You Save: £1.00 (11%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
An underated album in Herbie's vast discography. In my opinion it's one of his most original recordings, with unusal instrumentation and a laid back feel it's simply sublime. The title track is one of my favourite pieces of all time and worth the purchase price alone. Listening to this wonderful record will take you to another place.

The period that Herbie Hancock had between his 60s Blue Note work and his funk stuff (Head Hunters ownwards) is often criminally overlooked. His Mwandishi band recorded some of the most awesome, mind-blowingly messed up music that I have ever heard, and Sextant is probably the most challenging album of all. I guess you could call it the paranoid, insomniac brother of Crossings (their previous album). Where Crossings had a real organic, earthy feel to it, Sextant moves even further into uncharted territory. If you like, Bitches Brew was electric, but this is electronic. This is most noticeable on Rain Dance. It's probably the only electrosiren-swing tune you're likely to hear. Buster Williams inparticular shines on the upright bass. Hidden Shadows is in 19/4 ...
