Herbie HancockTakin' Off (180 Gram Red Vinyl)
$25.00Call to Order
Hancock's 1962 debut, all bluesy poise and hard-bop muscle with Freddie Hubbard and Dexter Gordon firing alongside. 'Watermelon Man' struts on that immortal, finger-snapping piano vamp that became a jukebox smash, while 'Three Bags Full' and 'Driftin'' show a 22-year-old already writing with uncommon melodic clarity. The opening shot of a genius's career.
