Description

New Vinyl Record – Hancock, Herbie – Inventions & Dimensions

For his third Blue Note album Inventions & Dimensions (1963), pianistHerbie Hancockbegan moving away from the modernist hard bop sound that defined his first two albums Takin Off and My Point Of View. Inspired by explorers likeEric DolphyandTony Williams, Hancock went in search of greater musical freedom by composing a set of ingenious originals each with their own unique inner logic that did away with what he considered the established jazz assumptions of the time. Hancock also pared the instrumentation down to feature his piano withPaul Chambersbass and a nuanced rhythmic bed laid down by percussionistsWillie BoboandOsvaldo Chihuahua Martinez. On the albums unforgettable cover the designerReid MilesletsFrancis Wolffsimposing photo of Hancock on an NYC street do all the talking.This Classic Vinyl Edition is all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
