1988 Stereo Reissue of Classic 1964 Blue Note Release of Bandleader/Composer/Pianist Herbie Hancock Entitled Inventions and Dimensions, Originally Produced by Alfred Lion, Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder at the Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on August 30 of 1963, Cover Design by Reid Miles, Liner Notes by Nat Hentoff, All Compositions Written by Herbie Hancock - "For his third album, Inventions and Dimensions, Herbie Hancock changed course dramatically. Instead of recording another multifaceted album like My Point of View, he explored a Latin-inflected variation of post-bop with a small quartet. Hancock is the main harmonic focus of the music -- his three colleagues are bassist Paul Chambers, drummer Willie Bobo, and percussionist Osvaldo "Chihuahua" Martinez, who plays conga and bongo. It is true that the music is rhythm-intensive, but that doesn't mean it's dance music. Hancock has created an improvisational atmosphere where the rhythms are fluid and the chords, harmonies, and melodies are unexpected. On every song but one, the melodies and chords were improvised, with Hancock's harmonic ideas arising from the rhythms during the recording. The result is risky, unpredictable music that is intensely cerebral and quite satisfying. Inventions and Dimensions displays his willingness to experiment and illustrates that his playing is reaching new, idiosyncratic heights. Listening to this, the subsequent developments of Miles Davis' invitation to join his quartet and the challenging Empyrean Isles come as no surprise." - Spectacular Personnel for the Quartet Features Living Legend Herbie Hancock on Piano, the Great Paul Chambers on Bass, the Brilliant Willie Bobo on Drums and Timbales & Osvaldo "Chihuahua" Martinez on Conga and Bongo! - Selections on Side One Are Succotash & Triangle at 11 Minutes 1 Second - Tracks for Side Two Consist of Jack Rabbit, Mimosa at 8 Minutes 38 Seconds and a Jump Ahead - Used Copy, Cover Very Good++, Record Very Good++ - Stereo Recording, Product Code B1-84147 - California Residents Add 9.75% Sales Tax - International S & H Extra -
