The Prisoner and the Piano are incredible but the other "greats," and lots of the funk and all the disco albums are trash man. also i wouldnt consider the mwandishi trilogy really experimental. then again this is just your friendly herbie-hancock-shitpost-in-jazz-thread, so godspeed man

...But it wasn't a shitpost that time it was my genuine attempt at a guide :(
Thanks for the critique anyway, I'll keep that in mind next time.

why so much hype for this album
Leo Fisher
/jazz/ general starting up again?
Liam Lewis
doubt it
Jackson Bell
Have you tried listening to any albums Hancock has played on that aren't under his own name? Some of his best work was as a sideman.
Also, I see why you've grouped it that way, but there's a whole world between Takin' Off and Empyrean Isles - I really wouldn't call the latter "standard"...
Anthony Green
I listened to Water Babies and I'm gonna listen to "On the Corner" soon.
Also I'm not sure what you meant by "a whole world between" the two albums. I grouped them because they were more straight forward jazz than Herbies other works.
Anthony Richardson
I know, but I don't think Empyrean Isles (or even Maiden Voyage) is that straightforward compared to Takin' Off.
Pic related is one of my favourite albums featuring Hancock.
Luke Howard
What makes it less straightforward?
And I'll give that a listen when I can.
Aaron Reed
That's a great one. Probably my favorite Sam Rivers work next to Fuchsia Swing Song.
Wyatt Sanders
I have almost the whole Sun Ra discography and half of it is not so great
John Turner
is it superman ? is it a plane ?
no, it's the Hawk !
Lincoln Fisher

Hudson Moore
Love Gary Burton, best song in this album has to be Las Vegas Tango

Around 3:05 I think the drummer and guitar lose their shit in an amazingly spectacular way
Luke Powell
Lol ya hope you like the space is the place melody cause youre going to be hearing it another 30-40 000 times as you go along
I got 33.5 GB of Ra myself... have I gone too far?
Oliver Edwards
Well when you have hundreds of albums not every one will be a masterpiece.
My favorite is his funky fusion era
Lanquidity
Sleepy Beauty
On Jupiter
Strange Celestial Road
Isaiah Cruz
you guys know about that recording of the Arkestra playing at some high school when Sunny puts a curse on the school because they cut the set short?
funny stuff

Nolan Sanders
my deepest apologies something came up
but i got u, famn
some info:
nuvoid.blogspot.ca
the school's name is JP Whidney high school in Watts, the blog spells it "Widney" but I found it on soulseek using "Whidney". also I have 2 versions apparently and they have different track lists but have the same "The Curse" track. theres other rare curiosities by the arkestra you can find on slsk too if ur so inclined; jams, rehearsals, etc
Grayson Edwards
wew. that whole thing sounds very bizarre, and pretty funny. People liked jazz in 1972? Like Sun Ra jazz? Like people would let Sun Ra play his jazz for handicapped middle schoolers? and the middle school administrators would let that happen? and then the custodians would just turn off the lights to stop his performance? that's what they thought the best way to handle that was? and then sun ra would yell all that shit in front of a bunch of handicapped 12-year-olds?
the fbi following the arkestra for a casual association with the black panthers is pretty funny too.
Dominic Young
rofl I know right. legitimate questions all.
I guess they couldnt get The Osmonds or whoever was popular at the time so they went with the jazz geezers who dress like ther in the japanese circus
John Edwards
Have been listening to pic quite a bit based on a rec from both jtg here and a quick peek at the records the Penguin guide has given a crown to.
It's something between a work by Debussy or Stravinsky and free jazz. Most of it is just Jimmy on his clarinet with the bass guy and piano guy occasionally coming in, but Jimmy's technique is so proficient on the clarinet along with the work in general having that bit of classical style complexity to it that it never feels boring.
Like if an impressionist painting was deconstructed, post-modern style.
