Herbie Hancock for Sony Japan from 1977.
Herbie Hancock-Piano;Ron Carter-Bass;Tony Williams-Drums
The big three keep it strictly acoustic for this Japanese only release from CBS Sony. 4 originals from Herb plus a rapid romp through "Milestones"...tough stuff.
The first V.S.O.P. tour triggered a flood of recording activity in July 1977, but only a fraction of it was released in the U.S. This session, recorded in San Francisco just days before the Quintet concerts in Berkeley and San Diego, finds Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams mixing it up sans the horns and the results are more reflective and cerebral than the full Quintet concerts. Hancock is thoroughly in control of the agenda while Williams throws in those meter-fracturing flurries that keep everyone on their toes. There is a startling re-interpretation of "Speak like a Child" which is significantly tougher and busier than the wistful Blue Note version, as well as challenging Hancock originals like "Watcha Waiting For" and "Watch It." This is uncompromising acoustic jazz, commercial anathema in the electronic '70s -and thus, only Japan got to hear it. Richard S. Ginell.

Hi, thanks for the music. I've tried to access this file but Rapidshare gives me a message saying I can't access the copywrited material, then directs me to a site where I can buy movies...is that just one of Rapidshare's fickle tactics?
Can anyone help?

Great album. I bought the CD of this years ago probably at a Tower Records. If I'm not mistaken Ron Carter's album Third Plane was recorded at the same sessions in 1977.
Many thanks for the MF re-up.
