Hancock, Herbie - Maiden Voyage - LP 180 Gr. (Blue Note Vinyl Classic Series)

 Freddie Hubbard, George Coleman, Ron Carter, Anthony Williams.

Every single track on this album, from the haunting "Maiden Voyage" to the gently swinging "Dolphin Dance", has found its way into standard jazz repertoire. With his extraordinary compositions, his interaction and his solos, Herbie Hancock created a milestone in modern jazz.

Even compared to Herbie Hancock's superb Blue Note album of the 1960s, 1965's Maiden Voyage remains one of the artistic highlights of the great pianist's career. Hancock is joined here by his Miles Davis Quintet bandmates, Ron Carter on bass and Tony Williams on drums, as well as Freddie Hubbard on trumpet and George Coleman on tenor sax.

The quintet embarks on an oceanic exploration of five original Hancock compositions, some of which have now become enduring standards in the jazz lexicon, including the title track, "Eye of the Hurricane" and "Dolphin Dance".

This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition was mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
