Herbie Hancock - Flood - VINYL LP

Hancock started his career with trumpet player Donald Byrd's group. He recorded his first solo album Takin' Off for Blue Note Records in 1962. InchWatermelon ManInch (from Takin' Off) was to provide Mongo Santamaría with a hit single, but more importantly for Hancock, Takin' Off caught the attention of Miles Davis, who was at that time assembling a new band. Hancock was introduced to Davis by the young drummer Tony Williams, a member of the new band.Hancock received considerable attention when, in May 1963, he joined Davis's Second Great Quintet.

This quintet is often regarded as one of the finest jazz ensembles yet. While in Davis's band, Hancock also found time to record dozens of sessions for the Blue Note tag, both under his own name and as a sideman with other musiciansHancock also recorded several less well-known but still critically acclaimed albums with larger ensembles - My Point of View (1963), Speak Like a Child (1968) and The Prisoner (1969), albums which featured flugelhorn, alto flute and bass trombone in addition to the traditional jazz instrumentation. 1963's Inventions and Dimensions was an album of almost entirely improvised music, teaming Hancock with bassist Paul Chambers and two Latin percussionists, Willie Bobo and Osvaldo InchChihuahuaInch Martinez.During this period, Hancock also composed the score to Michelangelo Antonioni's film Blowup (1966), the first of many film soundtracks he recorded in his career.
