Herbie Hancock Takin Off 180G Vinyl LP Record
Factory Sealed LP
Chicago-born pianist/composer Herbie Hancock had
already made his mark when, in 1962, he recorded 'Takin' Off' for the Blue Note
label; it was his first under his own name. At only twenty-two years of age,
the company offered him a solo contract which would allow him to record a
number of rightly revered albums throughout the Sixties. The release of 'Takin'
Off' almost immediately singled out Hancock as one to watch, the hard-bop message
delivered in striking fashion by the leader and his sidemen. Incidentally,
trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, only a couple of years Hancock's senior, already had
a couple of albums under his belt for Blue Note, and these were as well
received as the pianist's own debut disc would be.
