ROCK • A • RAMA
AN EVENING WITH HERBIE HANCOCK & CHICK COREA (Columbia);TOMMY FLANAGAN AND HANK JONES—Our Delights (Galaxy)::Two very distinct developments of the piano duet premise—Herbie and Chick (sounds like the names of two second bananas in a WWII comedy) like to stretch out mixing a little blues, a little bombast and a lot of impressionistic experimentation while Tommy and Hank prefer compact renditions of jazz standards with the swing unrelenting and the bop pervasive.
ROCK .A. RAMA
AN EVENING WITH HERBIE HANCOCK & CHICK COREA (Columbia);TOMMY FLANAGAN AND HANK JONES—Our Delights (Galaxy)::Two very distinct developments of the piano duet premise—Herbie and Chick (sounds like the names of two second bananas in a WWII comedy) like to stretch out mixing a little blues, a little bombast and a lot of impressionistic experimentation while Tommy and Hank prefer compact renditions of jazz standards with the swing unrelenting and the bop pervasive. Both records are excellent on their own terms with the Columbia side recommended for long pensive evenings and the Galaxy side for more extroverted digging.
