Rating: - Mysterious and haunting, mesmersing and hypnotic - this is more than just music
Like the sea itself, Maiden Voyage is vast and epic- flirting with adventure and myth. It is Herbie Hancock's tour de force- what the wonderous Speak No Evil was to his Blue Note peer, Wayne Shorter- ie. representing the composer/pianist at his imaginitive peak. We can only imagine what kind of zone Freddie Hubbard, George Coleman, Ron Carter and Tony Williams must have been during the recording of this masterpiece- so wonderfully coherent yet brimming with subtle musical conflict. And Hancock's ... Read More

Rating: - La Mer
By now, Herbie Hancock was reaching a point were every convention, every facet of jazz he had experienced before was reaching near perfection in his compositions. He had already acheieved fame and lucratove offers from Blue Notes records, so finance was more or less assured. He was lucky. He had time to plan his works and choose the musicians he wanted. And Hancock was not a man to let such an opportunity just whizz by. This album proves that.
The sound and it's purpose is almost overpowering. ... Read More

Rating: - Hancock's Finest Hour
As prolific an artist as Herbie Hancock has been over 40 years, this album endures as probably his best. He had made a startling contribution to 60s jazz already with the excellent debut album, 'Takin off' and the follow up, 'Empyrean Isles.' Although they contained more obvious 'hits in the form of 'Watermelon Man' and the wonderful 'Canteloupe Island,' this is his most consistent album.
Part of the lasting appeal of this record is its thematic approach, as all five tracks come across as part ... Read More

Rating: - the voyage of discovery
This is probably the best jazz album of the 1960s by far in terms of a complete listening experience and a complete collaboration by all the musicians involved (I could have included Miles, Eric Dolphy or others but to me this is the crystal sound of a true artist at work). The title track has become a classic and out of very simple materials, the insight by Herbie being in the voicings of the chords rather than in any awesome display of skill. This is therefore a very harmonically based album but ... Read More

Rating: - Huge, elegant, poised
The players on Maiden Voyage are essentially those of the Miles Davis band - but how different from Miles' records it sounds and feels! In 1965, Herbie Hancock's leadership and vision were rapidly taking shape.

This album placed Hancock firmly in the company of the great jazz musicians. He had proved his mettle as an innovative and individual pianist on such excellent records as Wayne Shorter's Speak No Evil (Blue Note, 1964) and Miles' E.S.P. (Columbia, 1965), both recorded only months before. ... Read More
