Takin' Off is the debut album by jazz pianist Herbie Hancock that was released in 1962 by Blue Note Records. The recording session included Freddie Hubbard on trumpet and Dexter Gordon on tenor saxophone. The album was a hard bop LP, with its characteristic two horns and a rhythm section. The bluesy single "Watermelon Man" made it to the Top 100 of the pop charts, and went on to become a jazz standard.

Yep, sounds superb especially for the price. Pressing is dead quiet and the mastering is wonderful. Packaging is a little flimsy but the music makes up for that.

The Kevin Gray mastered 80th anniversary edition is excellent. Mine is a solid, silent pressing and the mastering gives a nod to the Van Gelder sound of the originals without the roll-off. Punchy, exciting and rhythmically spot-on. If I didn't have an original of Dexter Gordon's Doing Alright I'd buy that as well.So pleased that the people who now run Blue Note have finally seen the light. The Tone Poet series are also superb but at £20 these are a well worth picking up as well - if the sound of this is anything to go by.

I had two copies, and the second one is better. First one had a couple visible defects causing a repetitive crackle on B3. However, the second copy is clean (ticks and pops here and there though) and is a keeper. It sounds great, and I have no problem with the jacket -- the text is nice and clear. Great album too. Even in his earliest days, Herbie was playing unconventional chords and was way ahead of his contemporaries (Freddie's occasionally juvenile solos notwithstanding).Interestingly, Leonard Feather uses the words "maiden voyage" in the liner notes. The static between the inner sleeve and the record is fierce!!

For who has bought this reissue...it is better than the DOL reissue?Thanks in advance

Laitchai

DOL, Wax Time, Green Corner, Jazz Images and most of the labels that release lots of classic jazz albums for $10-20 will be CD sourced and sound horribly. This is sourced from the original tapes, plated at one of the best pressing plants in the world, pressed at a decent plant and mastered on an all analogue system by one of the best mastering engineers in the world at one of the best mastering studios in the world. For the price, this simply cannot be beat.

Gughi For who has bought this reissue...it is better than the DOL reissue?Thanks in advance Its from tape by KPG, its 100 times better than CD sourced DOL trash.

Garne

They have done a tremendous job with this reissue. Mastered from the original tapes. Kevin Gray cut. They went for a lower price point by skimming on the cover and sleeve and pressing at Optimal but I would not hesitate at all to recommend these. Way better than the 75th anniversary series so far.

Nuliax

Yes. Much better. There's really no comparison. Definitely get this.
