Herbie Hancock - Takin Off 3
Review by Sef Gutierrez
Takin Off 3 is the latest album by the legendary jazz pianist Herbie Hancock. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, showcasing Hancock's virtuosic playing and innovative approach to jazz.
The album opens with the upbeat and funky "Empty Pockets," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Hancock's piano playing is accompanied by a tight rhythm section, featuring bassist James Genus and drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, who provide a solid foundation for Hancock's improvisations.
Other standout tracks on the album include the ballad "Alone Together," which showcases Hancock's lyrical playing, and the Latin-infused "Cantaloupe Island," which features a catchy melody and infectious groove.
Throughout the album, Hancock demonstrates his mastery of jazz improvisation, effortlessly weaving in and out of complex chord progressions and intricate melodies. His playing is both technically impressive and emotionally expressive, making for a truly captivating listening experience.
