Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage Vinyl LP

Maiden Voyage (1965) stands as one of the crowning artistic achievements of pianist Herbie Hancock’s career. Recorded with a stellar quintet featuring Miles Davis bandmates Ron Carter on bass and Tony Williams on drums, alongside Freddie Hubbard on trumpet and George Coleman on tenor saxophone, the session captures a masterful interplay of rhythm, harmony, and improvisation.

The album features five original Hancock compositions, many of which have become enduring jazz standards, including the evocative title track, “Eye of the Hurricane,” and the lyrical “Dolphin Dance.” This vinyl LP pressing delivers the full depth and clarity of the classic session, highlighting Hancock’s visionary compositional voice and the quintet’s oceanic exploration of sound.
