Classic Recordings , Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage

By Maiden Voyage Hancock was only a few years into his career as a bandleader at just twenty-four years old, yet had gained a wealth of experience as a sideman in many other Blue Note sessions, as well as his role in Miles Davis’s second great quintet. Joining him during the Maiden Voyage sessions were two colleagues from the Davis group, Williams on drums and bassist Ron Carter, alongside soon-to-be star-trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, all three returning from Hancock’s previous record Empyrean Isles . Completing the lineup was George Coleman, an under-rated saxophonist who had also been an occasional member of the pre-Wayne Shorter Miles Davis group, most memorably on My Funny Valentine , recorded alongside Hancock in 1964. Loosely conceptualised around themes of the ocean, Maiden Voyage treads familiar hard bop ground, but also finds plenty of uncharted water to discover.

The title track really steals the show, a tune that remains one of Hancock’s personal favourites to this day and became a jazz standard, opening the record with an ominous melody that takes us straight into modal territory. It’s a spacious composition that offers ample room for his soloists to flourish, setting Hancock’s atmospheric tone for the record. It’s a subtle yet imposing opener, no doubt stemming from his exposure to Miles Davis’ cool approach. That being said, the energetic ‘Eye of the Hurricane’ quickly blows us off-course into choppier, Coltrane-esque waters, picking up with a quick swing tempo, a frenetic melody and an especially fiery solo from Hubbard.

Channelling the dynamism of the music he was making with the Davis group in the same period, Hancock’s compositions allow for some fluid conversations between the players. There’s a nice balancing of moods, so that while the quintet enters more chaotic territory again on ‘Survival of the Fittest’, the Count Basie-inspired ‘Dolphin Dance’ brings calm after the storm, returning us to more comfortably melodic territory with Hancock at the helm after the extended soloing of the previous track. In amongst the longer, more adventurous tracks the quaint melodicism of ‘Dolphin Dance’ and ‘Little One’ bring a welcome accessibility to the record. Hancock plays into some of the accelerating trends of modern jazz, with fast tempos and extended virtuosic soloing, while carefully balancing it with toneful and understated tunes; invoking Debussy with his sprinkles of washy piano chords across the record. While Hancock would go on to experiment in avant-garde jazz and the popular synth-funk sound that overshadows much of his earlier output, Maiden Voyage features some of his finest early work.

The Rudy Van Gelder Edition of MAIDEN VOYAGE includes an essay by Bob Blumenthal. Personnel: Herbie Hancock (piano); George Coleman (tenor saxophone); Freddie Hubbard (trumpet); Ron Carter (bass); Tony Williams (drums). Recorded at Van Gelder Studios, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on May 17, 1965. Originally released on Blue Note (BLP 4195). Includes liner notes by Herbie Hancock and Nora Kelly. Digitally remastered by Rudy Van Gelder. This is part of the Blue Note Rudy Van Gelder Editions series. Personnel: Herbie Hancock (piano); George Coleman (tenor saxophone); Freddie Hubbard (trumpet); Anthony Williams (drums). Liner Note Authors: Herbie Hancock; Nora Kelly. Photographer: Francis Wolff. Probably the best in Herbie Hancock's series of fine Blue Note albums from the 60s, Maiden Voyage finds him in what is basically the Miles Davis band of the time, with Miles replaced by the young Freddie Hubbard. Hancock has always been a fine composer, but Maiden Voyage contains two classic compositions in particular - the beautiful `Dolphin Dance', and the atmospheric and popular title track. Saxophonist George Coleman, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Tony Williams play as well throughout as they have ever played, and the whole record is marked with a timeless freshness and sense of creative tension.

ジャズ・ピアノ界に君臨するハービー・ハンコックの名作。ファンク・ジャズ系のヒット曲が多い彼ですが「MAIDEN VOYAGE」は'60年代ストレート・アヘッド・ジャズの名曲のクラシックの影響を受けたハーモニーが凄い！ (C)KIYOSSI

タワーレコード （2001/07/27）

ハービー・ハンコックは1940年4月12日アメリカ合衆国イリノイ州シカゴ生まれのジャズ・ピアニスト、作曲家、編曲家、プロデューサー。アルバムは1965年の録音でハービー・ハンコックの代表作となった不滅の名盤。演奏は作曲と全体をまとめ上げたハービー・ハンコックの力量が凄いが、競演者の一糸乱れぬ高度な技術や特フレディー・ハバードの卓越した演奏は聴く度に手に汗握る。
