About
Herbie Hancock's piano solo is the 2nd of 3 on this recording, following Wayne Shorter's tenor sax and followed by Joe Chambers on drums. Spanning two choruses of the 32-bar AABA form at a moderate 138 BPM with a swing feel in E♭, the solo runs approximately 1:51. Hancock follows with two equally engaging choruses of piano at 138 BPM, his harmonic imagination fully engaged by Shorter's composition. "Chief Crazy Horse" from Wayne Shorter's 1966 album Adam's Apple is a medium-tempo swing composition featuring three soloists across its 32-bar AABA form in E-flat. Herbie Hancock was 25 to 26 years old at the time of this 1966 recording.
