A desert-island disc.

Definitely. That was such a great Hancock era. So young and so talented.

Yes, one can detect the hand of Woody Shaw in the production as well (plus Cuscuna and Gregg).

Now spinning - Don Wilkerson 'Preach Brother !' (BN NY USA stereo)

Another fantastic album, effectively an Andrew Hill 'stealth' album. I am impressed by the recent Tone Poet release.

Only heard the two streaming tracks; are they indicative?

It's all available to stream on BC now so not sure which two you have heard, probably the vocal with Neneh Cherry?

First side is quite in the vein of that tune but no more vocals. Side 2 ups the tempo a bit and is less string laden but they're still there.

Unsurprisingly Allen doesn't blow long and hard on this but he's definitely a major solo voice, especially on side 1 but so too are Michael Ray and Knoel Scott in places. Marshall wrote all but one track so his voice is there compositionally too.

Sleeve notes say they aimed for it to be wide ranging across the styles he's played. It is, which for some might mean it feels a little disjointed. I don't.
