Great Album.......2004-06-06

One of my favorite Herbie albums. The highlight is definitely Jaco's bass playing on 4 AM. What a rhythm section! Herbie, Jaco, and Harvey Mason on the same track!

Intruiging!.......2003-09-26

A clishe' yes but thats the only word I can think of to describe "Mr.Hands".A collection of somewhat electric Brazillain
flavored fusion (of so fasionable at the time) tempered only by
the monster funk of "Just Around The Corner".Excellent from start
to finish but far to much of a consession to please jazz purists
sometimes.

When I first heard this album I had to have it.......1998-05-28

My friend had the CD in LP form. When I bought it was in 8 track form. I left it in the car and it melted. To me this is one of the best albums he has ever recorded. I have been looking for this album for years but haven't been able to find it.
