About this product
Herbie's Blue Note debut features the incomparable horn duo of Freddie Hubbard and Dexter Gordon (both at their creative peaks), blowing out Hancock's angular, bluesy tunes with passion and finesse. The album kicks off with the classic InchWatermelon ManInch; the songs are largely uptempo hard-bop until closing with the sparkling, late-night ballad InchAlone and I.Inch The pianist's forays into experimentation are displayed in the strange rhythm section solos and the lack of thematic resolution on InchThe MazeInch or the 32-bar broken phrasing on InchThree Bags Full.Inch The sound is pure early-'60s Rudy Van Gelder muted piano, in-your-face horns and rhythm section in your living room. Mastered & Produced by Alan Yoshida & Joe Harley from the Original Rudy Van Gelder Blue Note 2-Track Analog Tapes. The Definitive Versions of Blue Note are on XRCD24... Listen & Compare! XRCD24 is Compatible with ALL CD PLAYERS! Album Tracks 1. Watermelon Man 2. Three Bags Full 3. Empty Pockets 4. The Maze 5. Driftin' 6. Alone and I 7. Watermelon Man (Alternate Take) 8.
