About
Herbie Hancock debuted as a leader in 1962, starting a Blue Note streak that would come to include such 1960s classics as <i>Inventions & Dimensions</i>, <i>Empyrean Isles</i>, and <i>Maiden Voyage</i>. The next album in this historic run, 1968’s <i>Speak Like a Child</i>, would represent another triumph of imagination, melodic acuity, masterful pianism, and sheer band chemistry. At the heart of it all is a trio featuring Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on ba, and Philadelphia legend Mickey Roker on drum. That’s a solid musical foundation—one that Hancock augmented with an unusual section of warm, chamber-like brass and wind, featuring Jerry Dodgion on alto flute, Thad Jones on flugelhorn, and Peter Phillips on bass trombone. This configuration, influenced in part by Gil Evan, had a mysterious aura, one that set the stage for the bass clarinet and alto flute of Bennie Maupin in Hancock’s first major post-Blue Note ensemble, the Mwandishi band. .
