 heartbreakingly beautiful

| I won't repeat what you've already read. But let me add that Herbie's performance on this album is so beautiful that you might find a tear rolling down your cheek as you listen to it. |

Artistic Brilliance
Submitted on: 2009-04-25 |

Recorded in Japan in October 1978 and released in that country one year later, Herbie Hancock is taking a look back and forging ahead as a solo pianist. It is artistic brilliance.
The trio of jazz standards - Someday My Prince Will Come, My Funny Valentine, Green Dolphin Street - were performed with the Miles Davis Quintet, while a suite is shaped by the four original tracks. The album was finally released in the U.S. in 2004 and includes four bonus tracks, which makes this set even more remarkable.
Looking back, this is a period between the fusion-laden funk and delving into the hip-hop mix. It is as smoothly satisfying as those periods were amazingly electric. |

The Piano

| Listening to "The Piano" performed by Herbie Hancock gave me greater appreciation of his genius as a jazz muscian. I have seen Herbie Hancock perform live in Europe and in the US. Having his CDs play in my home is the next best thing to seeing him live. |

Herbie Hancock's private voyage to Heaven
Submitted on: 2008-04-10 |

If ever there's a stairways to heaven, I want this music to be there with me.
Herbie is a genius with the keys. But you already know that and you certainly don't need me to remind you of the undisputed truth.
Just for a moment forget about categories. Don't think of Herbie as a jazz musician. He is a creative genius, period. Always was and always will be. My favorites are his trio recordings, either for Blue Note or CBS. But that's his jazz side.
This is more private. A session, just he, the piano and you. His most personal gift to us, his fans and music lovers.
Music is a universal language anybody can understand. Herbie is opening doors here. As if freed of boundaries, he is floating onto a cloud of notes - and he takes you with him!
His music, his playing the keys, it is a pure delight to the ears, your heart - and your imagination. This man is so creative with the instrument, ahh, what can I say, just get it!
I bought it the moment it came out as a Japanese pressing, but when I noticed they reissued it with a few extra takes I bought it again, to have on the side if ever I need a gift for someone dear.
Guess what, I ordered another one. The gift is still here, waiting for the right moment, but I wanted the extra takes for myself. They're that good!
Put it into your player and for a moment forget about the world. There is just sound, the sound of music, of Sonrisa (my favorite) |

The Piano

| The Piano This is an older CD of Herbie Hancock playing solo piano. It lends itself to a mood for total relaxation. I fell in love with it the first time I heard it and I have also recommended it to friends of mine. Since purchasing this CD I have also purchased Herbie Hancock's latest release, "River: The Joni Letters". |
