 | HERBIE HANCOCK "INVENTIONS AND DIMENSIONS"
 Blue Note
 
 This album is unbelievably stylish and funky in ways that a
 true xltronic will find infinitely rewarding, even though
 it's an 'accoustic' record! It's rythmic explorations should
 not be hard to approach for anyone accustomed to
 electronica.
 
 This is what blue not had to say about it when it was
 reissued on cd in 1989:
 
 For his third album, Inventions and Dimensions, Herbie
 Hancock changes musical styles by explored a Latin-inflected
 variation of post-bop with a small quartet. Hancock is the
 main harmonic focus of the music — his three musicians
 were bassist Paul Chambers, drummer Willie Bobo and
 percussionist Osvaldo "Chihuahua" Martinez, who plays conga
 and bongo. It is true that the music is rhythm-intensive,
 but that doesn't mean its dance music. Hancock has created
 an improvisatory atmosphere where the rhythms are fluid and
 the chords, harmonies and melodies are unexpected. On every
 song but one, the melodies and chords were improvised, with
 Hancock's harmonic ideas arising from the rhythms during the
 recording. The result is risky, unpredictable music that is
 quite satisfying. Inventions and Dimensions displays his
 willingness to experiment with a different sound and flavor
 of music.

 | Coltrane played with Miles Davis on a number of Davis' albums - most notably Kind of Blue.   Which one childkiller
 is referring to is anyone's guess. :)

 | Over at the Mu Board, I remember some people were comparing Squarepusher's jazzy stuff to Weather Report.  I'm so into
 the jazz fusion thing - but I'll definitely check them out.
 
 If we're offering jazz recommendations mine would have to
 be:
 
 Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come

 | and i'd say that WR's jazzy/fusion stuff is a way better than Sq's...(though i love everything Tom does:)
 
 Weather Report are REALLY worth checking out. you won't be
 disappointed :)
