Herbie Hancock-Speak Like A Child (Blue Note Records)
Released Summer of 1968
Speak Like a Child is one of the more lyrical and introspective recordings in the catalog of Herbie Hancock. Released on Blue Note Records in 1968, the album reflects Hancock’s growing interest in subtle orchestration and melodic simplicity following the more harmonically dense work of his earlier recordings. Rather than a traditional trumpet-sax frontline, Hancock chose the unusual combination of flugelhorn, bass trombone, and alto flute, creating a warm, floating ensemble sound. The music emphasizes spacious melodies, gentle rhythms, and impressionistic harmonies. Pieces like the title track and “Riot” highlight Hancock’s gift for understated composition and ensemble color. Featuring musicians such as Thad Jones, Micky Roker and Ron Carter, the album stands as one of Hancock’s most delicate and emotionally resonant Blue Note recordings. (S5-EP15)
