Secrets - Vinyl, CD

Herbie Hancock: Secrets versie op vinyl LP in standaard editie. Deze specifieke uitgave werd uitgebracht in Europa bij uitgeverij Music On Vinyl in samenwerking met Columbia op 31. juli 2015.

"Secrets" from 1976 is a jazz-funk-fusion album by keyboardist Herbie Hancock. The follow-up to his previous album, "Man-Child", again relies on bassist Paul Jackson and horn player Bennie Maupin to provide most of the solos alongside the master. On "Man-Child" the electric guitar joined Hancock's sound, and on "Secrets" it was almost in the middle. The dazzling rhythm guitar of Wah Wah Watson, a Motown session musician, stands out here. Where "Man-Child" still maintained a balance between fast and slow songs, "Secrets" retains a more relaxed, mellow feel. Even slightly faster tracks like "Doin' It" and "Cantaloupe Island" are imbued with a relaxed Caribbean influence. Overall, the album relies more on rolling grooves than energetic funk. Hancock spent a lot of time with Rhodes piano and was already using the new polyphonic synthesizers - a first step for ambient music.

Album valt binnen het genre Jazz, Funk/Soul, Fusion, Funk en Jazz-Funk. 180g Vinyl.
