LESS OVERTLY ADVENTUROUS THAN ITS PREDECESSOR, (EMPYREAN ISLES), “MAIDEN
VOYAGE” NEVERTHELESS FINDS HERBIE HANCOCK AT A CREATIVE PEAK. IN FACT, IT’S
ARGUABLY HIS FINEST RECORD OF THE '60s, REACHING A PERFECT BALANCE BETWEEN
ACCESSIBLE, LYRICAL JAZZ AND CHANCE-TAKING HARD BOP. BY THIS POINT, THE PIANIST
HAD BEEN WITH MILES DAVIS FOR TWO YEARS, AND IT’S CLEAR THAT MILES’ SUBDUED
YET CHALLENGING MODAL EXPERIMENTS HAD BEEN FULLY INTEGRATED BY HANCOCK.
NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THROUGH DAVIS, HANCOCK BECAME PART OF THE EXCEPTIONAL
RHYTHM   SECTION OF BASSIST RON CARTER AND DRUMMER TONY WILLIAMS, WHO
ARE   BOTH FEATURED ON “MAIDEN VOYAGE”, ALONG   WITH   TRUMPETER FREDDIE
HUBBARD   AND   TENOR SAXOPHONIST GEORGE COLEMAN... THIS FINEST 1965 ALBUM
IS HERE OFFERED IN GREAT CONDITION WITH CLEAN COVER AND BRIGHT AND SHINY
VINYL RECORD WITH NEW YORK USA ADDRESS ON LABELS BOTH SIDES, “EAR” AND
“VAN GELDER” STAMPED IN THE TRAIL-OFF DEAD WAX
