Early jazz Herbie Hancock – this was his fourth studio LP for Blue Note, backed by Freddie Hubbard on cornet, Ron Carter on bass, and Anthony Williams on drums. Recorded on June 17th, 1964 at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in Englewood Cliffs, NJ.

The most well known track here is “Cantaloupe Island” which became something of a standard and was sampled in US3’s song “Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)” in the early 1990s.

Great to pick up another LP that was not included in the Herbie Hancock Anthology The Story of Herbie Hancock
