5.0 out of 5 stars
A Wonderful Gem,
By
This review is from: The Prisoner (Audio CD)
"The Prisoner" has got to be the most overlooked recording in Herbie Hancock's catalog. This gem is blessed with great music and some intense solos - especially from saxophonist Joe Henderson and trombonist Garnett Brown. I love the way the bass clarinets and trombones make this music float and swing without getting too heavy. Buster Williams (Bass) and Albert Heath (Drums) provide the perfect rhythm section for Herbie to dance and dazzle while Hubert laws and Jerome Richardson provide some colorful Flute to give these compositions added beauty. As a group, this band is tight and on the mark. Beautiful compositions plus intense group chemistry equals five stars for this well polished recording. Check it out!!!

I can't believe only one person has reviewed this.,

This review is from: The Prisoner (Audio CD)
The unbearable Dave Matthews band gets so much attention, while this beautiful work of art is ignored? The music here is like a romantic walk through Central Park on a cool, crisp day in October. It's got the great, late Joe Henderson doing some fine work and Gil Evans trumpet player Johnny Coles laying down some melodic sounds. In fact, the album was influenced primarily by Evans. If you want some soothing sonic brilliance to keep you company, give this a try.

Wonderful,

This review is from: The Prisoner (Audio CD)
This is the time when Herbie is drifting slowly towards the funk session. The numbers from this album will make you feel the same. A solid lineup with Al Tootie Heath on drums accompanied by Joe Henderson is quite a unique masterpiece.
Big Thanks to Mr. Rudy Van Gelder at Van Gelder Studio who has recorded some everlasting Jazz classics and this is one of them.
