Takin' Off album for sale Product Description

Takin' Off album for sale by Herbie Hancock was released Oct 23, 2012 on the Heavenly Sweetness label. TAKIN' OFF was Herbie Hancock's first album as a leader. The 1996 reissue of TAKIN' OFF adds alternate takes of "Watermelon Man," "Three Bags Full" and "Empty Pockets." TAKIN' OFF (1962), Herbie Hancock's debut as a leader, holds up exceptionally well decades after its release, even in light of the vast, eclectic, and excellent solo catalogue that followed. Still in the thick of his groundbreaking work with Miles Davis, Hancock had already established himself as a pianist and composer of the first order, and those qualities shine on TAKIN' OFF. Flanked by superb personnel that includes trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, saxophonist Dexter Gordon, and drummer Billy Higgins, Hancock offers six excellent compositions (including the famous "Watermelon Man") that balance between adventurousness and the rigors of classic hard bop. The Rudy Van Gelder remaster, released in 2007, brings this classic back in glorious clarity. Digitally remastered by Ron McMaster. Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on May 28, 1962. Includes liner notes by Leonard Feather. ...See Full Description
