  2. Look "jazz" might mean many things and nothing, and everything. That said pianist Robert Glasper's throw down at Herbie's International Jazz Day Festival in Chicago (!) is 2026 jazz in its truest thang-ness, to me, for '26, fo' sure.

  3. Colin James Hay, Looking for Jack, 1987 on Columbia

    Solo debut from the man more well known (to me at least) as the lead singer of Men At Work, which he fronted from 1978 to 1986. He's actually had quite a lengthy solo career and done a lot of really interesting work. This album may not be the pinnacle of that work, but it has consistent quality songwriting and vocals, if the band sometimes feels a bit generic. Even the cover makes it feel somehow rushed out, perhaps hoping to capitalize before the reputation of Men At Work faded. Herbie […]

  5. "Chameleon" is a #jazzFusion standard composed by #HerbieHancock with #BennieMaupin, #PaulJackson and #HarveyMason, all of whom also performed #theOriginal 15:44 full-length version on the 1973 album #HeadHunters, and featuring solos by Hancock and Maupin.

  6. Didn’t place in pub trivia, so will be consoling myself with some #HerbieHancock and a wee glass of Black Label.

    Just got this in from the #BlueNote spring sale….

    I love all the Herbie albums I have, this is no exception. And it was recorded by Rudy Van Gelder so it already has a leg up.

    Herbie Hancock - The Prisoner (1970) (Tone Poet Series)

  7. Herbie Hancock, Inventions and Dimensions, 1964 on Blue Note

    Hancock is joined by Paul Chambers, Willie Bobo and Chihuahua Martinez—though it’s not really what you’d call a Latin jazz album so much as post-bop or modal.

    Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder at his Englewood Cliffs studio.

    My copy—direct from Blue Note—is the 2019 Blue Note 80 Vinyl Series reissue mastered for vinyl by Kevin Gray and pressed at Optimal Media GmbH – sounds great.

  12. Wayne Shorter, Schizophrenia, 1969 on Blue Note

    Eleventh Wayne Shorter album, with Herbie Hancock, Curtis Fuller, Ron Carter, James Spaulding, and Joe Chambers. Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder, with Francis Wolff producing.

    This is transitional between post-bop and free jazz – looser and closer to the edge than my normal taste, but worth a listen for anyone interested in post-bop or Shorter and Hancock.

    My copy as part of the Story of Blue Note Records VMP Anthology, 2024 reissue.

  17. OK, thanks so much for revisiting with me, the music of my high school years.

    Let's close with a beautiful ballad: "My Funny Valentine," live at the Philharmonic Hall, Feb. 1964, NAACP benefit concert.

  18. "Rockit" is a composition recorded by American jazz pianist #HerbieHancock #and produced by #BillLaswell and #MichaelBeinhorn. Hancock released it as a #single from his twenty-ninth album, #FutureShock (1983). The selection was composed by Hancock, Laswell, and Beinhorn. The track was driven by its deejay #scratch style, performed primarily by #DXT, and its music video created by #GodleyAndCreme, featuring the robotic art of #JimWhiting.

  21. Back to Mr. Hancock. "Sextant" wasn't a hit, so it was time to throw down some funk. Here's "Chameleon," from "Head Hunters" (1973). Likely should be played loud.

  22. Continuing with the theme of how the music moved in different directions after 1970, but jumping ahead a couple of years, here's "Hidden Shadows," from Herbie Hancock's wild "Sextant" (1973).

  23. Listen to Miles Davis' "Right Off," recorded in 1970, released in 1971 as part of "A Tribute to Jack Johnson." Got Billy Cobham hittin' the 2 and 4 accents for that rock beat now. Likely should be played loud.

  24. After "Nefertiti" (1968), Miles Davis began to move away from a fully acoustic sound and toward what would be called fusion. Listen to "Tout de Suite," from "Filles de Kilimanjaro" (1968), as they make their way forward:

  25. Miles Davis - The Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel 1965

    Slowly working my way through this huge 10LP set of the Second Great Quintet (Miles Davis/Herbie Hancock/Wayne Shorter/Ron Carter/Tony Williams) push-push-PUSHing towards a new way of playing, namely: if you're bored with what's expected, do the opposite.

    It can skirt right up to free playing, but then gets reined in...

  26. Dear Harvey Mason: I came back to town to find that #Melodics added Chameleon as a #drum lesson and I went from practicing 20-25 minutes a day to 45-50 and I'm having a blast! #HerbieHancock

  27. On 18 Jan 2009: "We Are One" concert at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington prior to #BarackObama's inauguration attracts an estimated crowd of 400,000; performers include: #Beyoncé, #JonBonJovi, #GarthBrooks, #MariahCarey, #JoshGroban, #HerbieHancock, #JohnLegend, #PeteSeeger and #BruceSpringsteen, #U2, and #StevieWonder.

  28. Al primo album di Jaco Pastorius partecipò anche Herbie Hancock. Un contributo meraviglioso, come il suo brano "Speak Like a Child", introdotto in modo originale dallo stesso Jaco.

  30. RIP Jack DeJohnette. I was lucky enough to see him play twice, once in the early 90’s at the Royal Festival Hall in London with Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny and Dave Holland and once a few years later at Birdland in NYC with Michael Brecker, Metheny, Holland and Joey Calderazzo.
