About

Herbie Hancock's piano solo is the closing of 3 solos on this recording, following Dexter Gordon's tenor sax. Spanning five choruses of the 16-Bar form at a medium-up 167 BPM with a waltz feel in D, the solo runs approximately 1:26. Hancock closes the solo section with five ambitious choruses of piano improvisation, using the extended solo space to explore the tune's harmonic possibilities with the inventive voicings and rhythmic sense that would become his trademarks. Herbie Hancock was 21 to 22 years old at the time of this 1962 recording.
