Description
xWith Maiden Voyage, Hancock fashioned a modern jazz milestone with extraordinary compositions, interplay and solos. The result: every single cut here - from the haunting "Maiden Voyage" to the gentle, swinging "Dolphin Dance" - has found it's way into the standard jazz repertoire. This Rudy Van Gelder Edition reissue features 24-bit, state-of-the-art remastering and is part of Blue Note's 60th Anniversary celebration. In the mid-1960s, a distinctive post-bop style evolved among the younger musicians associated with Blue Note, a new synthesis that managed to blend the cool spaciousness of Miles Davis's modal period, some of the fire of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, and touches of the avant-garde's group interaction. Maiden Voyage is a masterpiece of the school, with Hancock's enduring compositions such as "Maiden Voyage" and "Dolphin Dance" mingling creative tension and calm repose with strong melodies and airy, suspended harmonies that give form to his evocative sea imagery. Trumpeter Freddie Hubbard was at a creative peak, stretching his extraordinary technique to the limits in search of a Coltrane-like fluency on the heated "Eye of the Storm", while the underrated tenor saxophonist George Coleman adds a developed lyricism to the session. --Stuart Broomer
