Kenny Burrell - On View At The Five Spot Cafe (Complete?)

Glad he liked Grant which is how I have a copy of the rejected KD session. I am sure the McLean was AWL before he started copying en masse.

Belden… …wanted every record that Herbie Hancock (which is probably why he had the Tyrone Washington session) was ever on.

Herbie is phenomenal on that unreleased Tyrone session.

I’ve often imagined what a Herbie piano-trio album from about 1965-1968 or so might have sounded like… but specifically with the kind of playing Herbie displays on the Tyrone Session (also on Wayne’s All Seeing Eye).  More percussive, less harmony-driven, and less about ‘tunes’ and changes.

Bob gave me a list of Most Overlooked Herbie Hancock Sideman Dates (or something like that) and it was full of Creed Taylor easylisten-ish sessions that i would have easily overlooked. That list made for some really fun investigating!

Core trio here is Herbie, Ron, and Mel Lewis. Herbie solos at 3:38.

This one was on the list, one that I had long overlooked:

But hey, looks like it's not unknown!

Bob was asking me if I had heard the Japanese-only release, "The Piano", saying it was one of Herbie's best recordings. When I told him I had never heard it, he sent me a bunch of takes from the session. It turned out that he was in the middle of producing the 2004 reissue of this session.

I’ve almost bought that solo-piano Herbie date a dozen times or more. Maybe one of these days I’ll finally bite.

Herbie always delivered as a sideman. I always like him in that role, and think he often played better than on his own records made around the same time. Like, he kills on Joe Henderson's Jobim tribute on Verve, but his New Standard album never caught me.
