"Speak Like A Child" is a landmark jazz album by the legendary pianist and composer Herbie Hancock, released in 1968. This CD edition, produced by Universal Music Japan, offers audiophiles an exceptional listening experience with its high-fidelity sound quality. The album showcases Hancock's innovative approach to jazz composition and arrangement, featuring lush harmonies and a unique blend of instruments including flugelhorn, bass trombone, and alto flute alongside his expressive piano playing. Tracks like "Riot," "Speak Like A Child," and "The Sorcerer" highlight Hancock?s ability to fuse sophistication with emotional depth.
Herbie Hancock is one of the most influential figures in modern music. As a key member of Miles Davis' Second Great Quintet, he helped shape the direction of post-bop jazz before launching an illustrious solo career marked by groundbreaking albums such as "Maiden Voyage," "Head Hunters," and multiple Grammy Awards. His work has consistently pushed boundaries across genres from acoustic jazz to electronic fusion.
Universal Music Japan is renowned for its dedication to producing premium-quality releases that cater especially to collectors and discerning listeners. Their meticulous attention to detail ensures that each reissue captures the essence of the original recordings while offering superior audio clarity.
"Speak like a child" was recorded and released three years after his masterpiece "Maiden Voyage". Hancock expanded his tonal palette by adding the unique coloring of flugelhorn, bass trombone and alto flute. The album showcases Hancock as a composer, pianist and arranger. All six tunes are wonderfully performed and quite memorable. Needless to say this cd is a must have.
