The Sound of Music

All About Sound

Hancock was one of the first jazz keyboardists to use synthesizers. He joined Miles Davis in 1963. His later albums Empyrean Isles (1964) and Maiden Voyage (1965) ranked among the most famous jazz LPs of the sixties. Empyrean Isles featured Hancock, Carter and Williams ( drummer) and Freddie Hubbard on cornet. Maiden Voyage added saxophonist George Coleman.

Other albums followed: My Point of View (1963), Speak Like a Child (1968) and The Prisoner (1969) which featured flugelhorn, alto flute and bass trombone.  With Miles he recorded “Miles in the Sky”  (1968). In 1969, electronic instruments dominated the next album “In a Silent Way”, an innovative fusion album. Funk jazz emerged in his albums, Head Hunters 1973 and Thrust in 1974.
