Herbie Hancock - Speak Like A Child

Speak Like a Child finds Herbie Hancock building on the groundbreaking work of Maiden Voyage, delivering a Blue Note follow-up that’s both adventurous and deeply lyrical. Recorded in 1968, Hancock expands his ensemble beyond the traditional trio, adding the warm tones of flugelhorn, the depth of bass trombone, and the airy color of alto flute, crafting a uniquely textured soundscape.

The album features a set of compelling originals, including the dynamic “Riot” and the mesmerizing “The Sorcerer,” showcasing Hancock’s gift for blending sophisticated harmonies with playful, soulful melodies. This 180-gram vinyl pressing from the Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series is mastered in stereo, all-analog by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and housed in a deluxe gatefold jacket—a must-have for any jazz aficionado.
