Info for My Point Of View (Remastered)
After the phenomenal success of „Takin' Off“, Herbie Hancock's second release for Blue Note was constructed in the mold of its predecessor. The tantalizing „My Point Of View“ offers many of the same early Hancock signature moments, but with an expanded palette that reflects the pianist's growing experience. A larger ensemble helped to broaden the range of this release as Blue Note regulars Donald Byrd, Hank Mobley, and Grant Green add to Hancock's sonic textures. Also on board are the advanced trombonist Grachan Moncur III, Bill Evans' bassist Chuck Israels, and the young drum wonder Tony Williams.
As with "Watermelon Man" (the opener on „Takin' Off“), the opening "Blind Man, Blind Man" is a simple, funky groove that serves to attract non-jazz listeners and invite them into Hancock's creative world. More traditional selections like the delightful "A Tribute to Someone" and the bouncing blues number "And What if I Don't" offer Hancock's masterful take on the standard format. Of special note is the centerpiece track, "King Cobra," an inventive piece that captures stunning work by Byrd, Mobley, Moncur, Hancock, and the ferocious Williams on the fade-out. Also included is a second take of the opening number as a closing bookend.
