"Third Plane is one of my favorite jazz CD's. There might only be one or two that I've listened to more. It has an almost driving quality while still being laid back. I bought it years ago and I'll still put it in the CD player in my car and not take it out for over a month. I can't get sick of this album."

"Herbie Hancock-piano
Ron Carter-bass
Tony Williams-drums
The all-star rhythm section for the former Miles Davis Quintet is represented here in a trio format.These guys came to play,and they pull out all the 'stops' for this session.Herbie presents some original tunes,and a great intepretation of 'Stella by Starlight'.The soloing is over the top.These three always play well together,and it is a real treat to here them in a trio setting.This comes very highly reccomended.Enjoy.Health and happiness."
An Overlooked Classic!!!!

"I've only been listening to this side for a week or two now but man, this is happenin'! Of course its tony williams, ron carter, and herbie hancock. Actually I have spent more time listening to the last three tracks so far. I bought this cd because of the personel and because I was learning "Stella". United blues is super cool but way too short. (I had to replay it like a gizzilion times because it was so much fun) This version of Dolphin Dance is great!"
