A Transcendent Classic

The opening on Maiden Voyage builds anticipation with Herbie w a series of almost Monk like chords joins then rhythm section first sparsely and then more energetic and has us both transfixed and eager but locked in and just when it seems it’s almost too long the trumpet enters w Freddie injecting the most perfect notes imaginable and we feel gloriously satisfied and then George Coleman treats w a Coltranesque resplendent response and this music is instantly a forever classic.
