Customer Reviews:

Fantastic Voyage would be closer to the truth.........2006-11-06

I feel the salty smell of the sea when I listen to this album.

My family and myself heard an interpretation of the title
track in a cafe, in a small town on the "Pacific Coast Frontier".
The wave of the melody swept over me like the evening fog.

Absolutely amazing..

Review is simple GET IT!!.......2006-09-06

Why go to a lot of trouble to discuss in depth one of the greatest jazz albums ever crafted?

Well, let me just say:

If you consider yourself a Jazz Fan. . .then you NEED this album.

It is not the ONLY ALBUM . . .or anything like that. . .but this continues to be an influence on anyone serious about jazz.

It is one of the twenty greatest jazz albums of all time.

I Can't Help Myself..........2006-08-29

"The emperor has no clothes!" There, I said it - finally. I have been wanting to say that about Rudy Van Gelder's stereo recordings for quite some time now. His stereo recordings lack ambiance and have very small soundstages with no depth. This should come as no surprise since most were recorded in his parents living room, but even those that were recorded in a proper studio are no better. Of all the jazz available on CD today, the Blue Note label represents the bottom of the sonic barrel. That's too bad since Blue Note owns most of the greatest jazz performances ever put to tape.

This album was recorded in a real studio, but it suffers the same problems as most of Rudy's other stereo recordings. To make matters worse, it has distortion that isn't normally present in RVG's work, perhaps it's due to problems related to the tape's magnetic coating flaking off. Suffice it to say this is no audiophile quality CD.

All ranting about the sound quality aside, this is an excellent jazz performance. I don't need to tell you how good it is - just read all the other reviews.

A Quiet Sea on Your Trip.......2006-08-08

I think Herbie Hancock has been the one of most influential men in jazz scene after Miles.

His music is very variable just like 'Chameleon' one of his hit tracks in another album 'Head Hunter'

May be, you think about the Herbie's Music that is Fusion & Electric Sound. Or his careers with Miles and many more Musicians in the mainstream Jazz.

But Herbie's music is Herbie Hancock himself!
It is a Chameleon 'who' can change his colors easily on surrounded environment.

Herbie's music colors were the same things chameleon's

He has taught us his amazing abilities that were most becoming to all of jazz Genre through many marvelous album & music.

this record Maiden Voyage is also qualified as something else.

The album Genre was called Modal Jazz.
The song - same name of album title - the 1st track "Maiden Voyage" was typical of Modal Theory.

Just like many men loving Jazz, I don't know Jazz Theory well either.

But a true attraction of this piece is a beautiful melody.

For example, the first and the last track, "Maiden Voyage" and "Dolphin Dance" have been most perfomed jazz standard.

Sometimes, Because of its beautiful Melodies this record is more relaxant & easy to appreciate rather than hard bop or funky jazz, etc...

Though you are not hard Jazz Cat, this "Maiden Voyage" can bring a great inspiration to you.

If you begin a hearing this music, you might be under a delusion about that you are in a Quiet Sea.

This is a Great & most beautiful album.

Don't hesitate to buy something else.

Originality.......2006-06-30

What an incredible cd. With Freddie Hubbard on the trumpet to bring in the rhythm you cannot go wrong.
