Herbie Hancock: VSOP Live Under The Sky and The Piano

by Colin Fleming
October 16, 2004

Strange, sometimes, an artist's need to revisit his creative past and experiment with the new technologies of the present, both within a short period of time. These two Herbie Hancock albums, recorded in the late seventies, are oppositional concepts--the VSOP date from Tokyo, a reunion of Miles Davis' second great quintet, with Freddie Hubbard replacing Davis ...

Herbie Hancock: The Prisoner

Read "The Prisoner" reviewed by Jon Opstad

by Jon Opstad
October 4, 2004

The opening “I Have a Dream" from this, Hancock's final (1969) session for the Blue Note label, is arguably his finest piece of ensemble writing on record. Although the remaining tracks don't quite reach the same peak of creativity and musicianship, the album remains one of Hancock's most essential. The setting is a nonet and is ...

Herbie Hancock/V.S.O.P.: Live Under the Sky

Read "Live Under the Sky" reviewed by John Kelman

September 20, 2004

There are a number of revelations on this remastered reissue of pianist Herbie Hancock and the V.S.O.P. quintet's Live Under the Sky , but two are essential. The first comes about eight bars into the first track on the first disc. The thought? How much drummer Tony Williams is truly missed. Sure, there are drummers out ...

by Ester Eggert
September 5, 2004

The 21st Century has arrived and this album has reached the new generation. One can draw lines to the '70s, when jazz, rock, funk, soul and African rhythms started to mix in the United States.

A Fireside Chat with Herbie Hancock

by AAJ Staff
July 30, 2004

Violinist Eyvind Kang, in John Zorn's Arcana, explains, “Music isn't dead, but held captive, kept prisoner within a parade of falsely glamourized forms. Like a corpse which has been overly made up, the forms are glamourized to the point where music is no longer recognizable." It was not always thus. And even today, in remote corners, ...

What a difference twenty years can make. Compare pianist Herbie Hancock's recent collaboration with Wayne Shorter, Dave Holland and Brian Blade with this DVD release of a 1984 Swiss concert featuring bassist Ron Carter and drummer Billy Cobham, and the most notable and refreshing quality is that of growth and evolution. Of course Hancock has demonstrated ...
