That is, until I heard Miles Davis. Just couldn't fail to hear the genius in his music. This is nice. Very nice. Ditto for me. First time I heard Miles' version of "Summertime" my ears finally heard something to love in jazz. I didn't know if I liked jazz but I knew I liked that. And my interest in jazz branched out from there. Not a bad starting point. |

I slipped away for a 6-minute iTunes track when this noodling started, and it's still going 'strong'. Ah well, off for another track whilst the hepcats click their fingers and nod their heads at yer man Hancock's jazz genius. Jazz improvisation is more like fractaling than "noodling". Noodles are just a mushy pile of repeated forms, while jazz takes a basic musical idea and expands it with related patterns into a complex system of sound that develops over time. |
| dpvest (roseville) | Posted: Jul 11, 2011 - 14:15 maiden voyage. good name for first release. it's hard to believe he was still developing his chops when he put this out. great stuff... |
| Dinges,_the_Dude (under sea-level, N52°22', E4°52') | Posted: Jul 11, 2011 - 13:46 Whoow! This sounds great!! Don't really know Hancock, but I should!! |
| ziakut (A place with air, water and chocolate.) | Posted: Jul 11, 2011 - 13:45 It's nice to hear this instead of 'Canteloupe Island'...for a change. Not that "CI" isn't good, but I'm wearing thin of that one since it gets lots of playtime here. |
| anotherlistener (outside Bawlmer) | Posted: Jul 11, 2011 - 13:45 Not my cup o' tea either. But having played horn in the school band I recognize the level of talent. Solid 8 |

I'm not sure which discography you're looking at, but he's been releasing recordings on his own, or with others, since 1962 or '63. |

Still, this is a great song for a long, lazy summer afternoon when you don't have anything else to do but kick back and enjoy the music... Hope you're enjoying your iTunes break. (Um, curious - what were you listening to that was better than Herbie Hancock?)  |
| jagdriver (Just a nod and a wink south of Paradise) | Posted: Apr 07, 2011 - 16:00 An enduring masterpiece. |
| risk (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Apr 07, 2011 - 15:59 Great recording! Especially love Freddie Hubbard on this one. |

| nerakdon (Colorado) | Posted: Sep 30, 2010 - 15:24 Aack! RP disappeared from ShoutCast in the middle of this, and all the links on the listen page appear broken. Help, no tunes? Say it ain't so! |

| silverfingers (Auckland New Zealand) | Posted: Sep 30, 2010 - 15:24 How nice to hear some nice melody and musicianship without the usual vocals on top. |
| apd (Toronto, On) | Posted: Sep 30, 2010 - 15:22 How fantastic is that cover? Reid Miles and the Blue Note art department: gods among insects. |

Honestly, I think jazz is enjoyed primarily by other musicians — folks that have the experience to appreciate the performer's technique, and the patience to appreciate all the weirdness. I think people that prefer beige probably do not enjoy jazz. Exactly. Jazz is not for the simple-minded. |
| TimeWaster (The lower of the two Dakotas) | Posted: Jan 19, 2010 - 15:08 It's not that I don't like Jazz, or whether or not I like beige, but any generally any music that has 14 million notes in one measure makes me reach for the mute button... |
| ronniegirl (Middle of New Jersey) | Posted: Jan 19, 2010 - 14:35 Flashback. In an old rented house, early 1970s. Dark out, incense and candles and other smells floating through the air. Everyone very chill. We loved Herbie, and Miles, and The Soft Machine. Whatever happened to them I wonder? |

| Stefen (West Hollywood, CA) | Posted: Jan 19, 2010 - 14:31 This is in that category of songs which I respect but don't actually like. |
| Palaverist | Posted: Jan 19, 2010 - 14:31 This is one of those records my dad adores, and I've come to appreciate it as well. For those who just don't get it, there's nothing wrong with you. It's OK not to get it. Jazz of this sort was never a popular music, and it can take a certain amount of listening and effort and learning to really make sense of it. There's no moral imperative that says you have to bother, but some people find this kind of music tremendously rewarding. But yeah, it's sort of the opposite of easy listening: if you don't engage it, it sort of falls flat. |

| schtan (culver city CA) | Posted: Nov 17, 2009 - 18:42 why is this ' in library ' and rejected twice ? which versions were rejected ? i have made an attempt at this and very glad to see it made it here there may be hope for more jazz ... |
| Kantankerous (Joisey of course) | Posted: Oct 17, 2009 - 07:48 Jazz is not for people who like beige. People who don't appreciate jazz must have had their musical tastebuds dulled along the way somehow. markoirl wrote: Jazz is for people that like beige |
| Inamorato (Twin Cities) | Posted: Aug 15, 2009 - 06:15 Ahhh! The great Freddie Hubbard is on trumpet. Herbie re-recorded "Maiden Voyage" on albums in the '70s and '80s. |

| On_The_Beach (Vancouver BC, Bud) | Posted: Jul 14, 2009 - 19:20 Thank you! Love this track. |
| dynamaniak (Ottawa Ontario Canada) | Posted: Jul 14, 2009 - 15:05 Hmmm, I just can't seem to get into this stuff. It really throws me off balance, like my internal time signature just does not jive with it AT ALL. Perhaps I am missing something? Perhaps some "downers" would help... lol Oh well - everyone marches to different drums I suppose - mine just beats much faster :) |
| F1 (Pacific NW...gotta get back to Chicago) | Posted: Jul 14, 2009 - 15:00 More jazz!!!!! |
| KKeith (NC) | Posted: Jul 14, 2009 - 15:00 Looks like this is the song's "maiden voyage" on Radio Paradise... very nice, thanks Bill |
