Herbie Hancock has been making high quality CD’s over the last 4 decades and this CD is no exception.

'The Piano' is a stunning album which features Hancock on his own at the piano. Tracks 8-11 feature previously unrealised material, which are different takes of earlier music on the album. This enables the listener to get a little closer to the creative mind of Herbie Hancock.

The piano was an early "disc to disc" recording and the quality could be slightly better, however the listener has a unique chance to hear Hancock in action on his own.

My personal favourite is track 4 'Harvest Time'. In this track Hancock is in complete control of the music and as a listener we are left on the edge of our seats wondering what is going to happen next. Not as ground breaking as some of his other albums e.g. 'Headhunters' however this is one of Hancock’s most creative albums.
