The Piano - Herbie Hancock


About a month or two ago, someone wanted to know some good piano lp's and another poster suggested Herbie Hancock's 'The Piano'. I had never heard it and found it today at my local record store so I picked it up. This is such an amazing recording I would just like to thank whom ever posted that recommendation. Not sure who it was, but thanks. This is fantastic.

It’s been one of my favorites since first listen; and I’ve never understood why it isn’t held in higher regard. I’m glad you fellas are talking about it.
Always liked the Blue Note stuff before the funk, fusion, electric stuff. I'll check this one out.
I had forgotten all about direct to disc. I have several LPs direct to disc in storage. This is a Great recording and music. He made another one like this one entitled Directstep on amazon sellers for a cool $113 used. I will try to make do with this one. :)
I placed an order on Amazon for 'The Piano' on compact disc ($24) and about 3 weeks later I got an e-mail stating that the order has been cancelled because the seller was out of stock. This past Saturday my wife and I decided to pump a little money into the local economy and visited our local record shop. Low and behold, there it was. One copy left for $13. Picked it up along with Cassandra Wilson's 'Silver pony'. A very worthwhile trip to the store to say the least.
