Herbie Hancock's first Blue Note album "Takin' Off" introduced "Watermelon Man" which Mongo Santamaria later took to the Top 10 pop charts. His third album "My Point Of View" gave us the follow-up "Blind Man, Blind Man" which became a jukebox staple for Herbie, a hit for Donald Byrd and one his most sampled tunes of the early '90s. This album, which features Blue Note stalwarts Byrd, Hank Mobley and Grant Green, also introduced Tony Williams to the jazz world. The compositions show the range and depth of this young pianist-composer who was just weeks away from joining Miles Davis's quintet. This remastered CD includes an alternate take of "Blind Man, Blind Man" previously available only in Hancock's Blue Note box set.
After the phenomenal success of TAKIN' OFF, Herbie Hancock's second release for Blue Note was constructed in the mold of its predecessor. The tantalizing MY POINT OF VIEW offers many of the same early Hancock signature moments, but with an expanded palette that reflects the pianist's growing experience. A larger ensemble helped to broaden the range of this release as Blue Note regulars Donald Byrd, Hank Mobley, and Grant Green add to Hancock's sonic textures. Also on board are the advanced trombonist Grachan Moncur III, Bill Evans' bassist Chuck Israels, and the young drum wonder Tony Williams.
As with "Watermelon Man" (the opener on TAKIN' OFF), the opening "Blind Man, Blind Man" is a simple, funky groove that serves to attract non-jazz listeners and invite them into Hancock's creative world. More traditional selections like the delightful "A Tribute to Someone" and the bouncing blues number "And What if I Don't" offer Hancock's masterful take on the standard format. Of special note is the centerpiece track, "King Cobra," an inventive piece that captures stunning work by Byrd, Mobley, Moncur, Hancock, and the ferocious Williams on the fade-out. Also included is a second take of the opening number as a closing bookend. |
