The 7th and final Herbie Hancock album under the Blue Note label before moving to Warner Bros. Records. Recorded in 1969 and released 1970

It is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Hancock said he'd been closer to his real self than on any other previous album

Musicians include tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, trumpeter Johnny Coles on flugelhorn, trombonist Garnett Brown, flautist Hubert Laws, bassist Buster Williams and drummer Albert “Tootie” Heath

Hancock praised Laws as one of the finest flautists in classical or jazz music. Krudler agrees.

This will be my final Hancock post for a while. I listened to all 7 today, and posted as I went. I love full albums, but I also love to hear a series of albums and enjoy experiencing the artist grow

Hancock's 6th album is set against the backdrop of social turmoil in the 1960s US

Hancock wanted to picture an upbeat, brighter future, and to rediscover the childhood qualities of purity and spontaneity

Hancock mixes up his front line with Jerry Dodgion on alto flute, Peter Phillips on bass trombone, and Thad Jones on flugelhorn

Ron Carter on bass/rhythm and Mickey Roker on drums

Hancock's 5th album, with tenor saxophonist George Coleman, Freddie Hubbard, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams

A concept album aimed at creating an oceanic atmosphere; The musicians develop the concept through their use of space

This album was presented with the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999

Herbie Hancock's 4th studio album featuring greats Freddie Hubbard, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams

A little known tidbit about Ron Carter - he is the most recorded bassist in jazz history with over 2200 credited sessions

This album was reissued in 1999 with 2 bonus tracks of alternate takes

From the most excellent LP:
