A Very Rare Jazz Album
Alf Kremer | Denver CO | 11/17/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)
"There seem to be two types of jazz albums - those that jazz fans alone appreciate, and those that the public-at-large can enjoy (but jazz fans turn their noses up at). This seems to be that rare album that appeals to all. It's a great blend of 50's/60's style jazz which is kept varied an interesting. The vocal ("How Long Has This Been Going On?") is wonderful, the tense "Berangere's Nightmare" is haunting, and the uptempo numbers get your toes tapping in spite of yourself. Jazz fan or no, pick it up."
Play this during that romantic dinner!

"She's coming over and your cooking dinner. The question becomes, What's gonna be in the CD player as you look across the candlelight into her eyes? Fellahs, trust me. You ain't gonna do much better than this."

"Great Jazz Compilation by Herbie Hancock. He deftly mixes his own compositions with classic jazz pieces. It works wonderfully well and he won a very well deserved (although controversial within the music branch) Academy Award for his wonderful work here. A full and rich listening experience."
