The 7th and final Herbie Hancock album under the Blue Note label before moving to Warner Bros. Records. Recorded in 1969 and released 1970

It is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Hancock said he’d been closer to his real self than on any other previous album

Musicians include tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, trumpeter Johnny Coles on flugelhorn, trombonist Garnett Brown, flautist Hubert Laws, bassist Buster Williams and drummer Albert “Tootie” Heath

Hancock praised Laws as one of the finest flautists in classical or jazz music. Krudler agrees.

This will be my final Hancock post for a while. I listened to all 7 today, and posted as I went. I love full albums, but I also love to hear a series of albums and enjoy experiencing the artist grow
