Details: Amazon.ca In 2001, Herbie Hancock toured with Directions In Music, an all-star tribute to Miles Davis and John Coltrane, and this album captures the band's gig at Massey Hall in Toronto. It's clearly a chance for Hancock to return to the creative source of Davis's great quintet of the mid-60s and he has excellent companions for the journey in Michael Brecker and Roy Hargrove. The CD begins with a reprise of Hancock's "Sorcerer", and bassist John Patitucci and drummer Brian Blade, so crucial a part of Wayne Shorter's Footprints Live!, prove themselves just as important here. Blade is especially inspiring, pressing Hancock and the horns to complex creative dialogue. The synthesis of "So What" and "Impressions," already closely linked tunes, benefits from the input of some fresh creative thinking, while Brecker's long cadenza on "Naima" is an effective invocation of Coltrane's intrepid virtuosity. Over 78 minutes in length, this is energetic, sometimes brilliant music, in many ways resembling Hancock's own classic, Maiden Voyage. --Stuart Broomer Product description Brand New
