My peers said I was listening to strange music because this is the only music I would collect back in the 60's. I loved it so it didn't matter. Stayed out of trouble when I was immersed in jazz and art.
I can relate to this. Checking out albums from the Lincoln center audio library. Felt good holding the Jazz classics while on the train back home. R. M.
As with his work on Mile's Davis albums, George Coleman demonstrates a glorious sound here, with such tasteful, inventive and beautifully crafted phrases. One of the greatest jazz recordings ever, and up there with Kind of Blue.
When I in high school, I would come home and listen to a jazz show on radio station wrvr hosted by Billy Taylor. The name of the show was Maiden Voyage, and it was on Monday to Friday from 4 to 7 pm. Needless to say, this had a big effect on me
I did too. First heard his show when I was 11 turning 12. I saved up money a quarter at a time to buy Herbie Hancock’s Maiden voyage album. It sustained my sense of being for years and years.
I bought this album somewhere in the 70's and to this day, it still ROCKS!!!! Classic album with an all star cast. And BTW, I still have the original album:)
Adam Chinery Adam dude none of those soloists would ever try to compare themselves to the playing on this seminal jazz side I guarantee. Plus they are just like 15 second solos. I just listened to that rsspectful rip off.
This album immediately evokes strong nostalgic feelings in me for those marvelous days in New York's East Village, Slug's Saloon Jazz Club, East Third Street, The Old Reliable. We heard the best jazz and had the best times. Sadly those amazing times and music are gone forever.
The times may be gone but the music lives on around the world. And I have to believe that there are good times now and will be in the future for jazz - it'll always be alive whether it's in vogue at any given moment or not. So happy for you to have those great memories, I am jealous :-)
Fortunately, Mary Kate, memories of these idyllic moments with the sounds of great jazz can last a lifetime. Hancock, one of the pioneers of jazz, has contributed many fine recordings over the years.
@@floppabingussled Something about this era in jazz where, to my taste I guess in accordance with when I came along as a listener and what I came to prefer, the music was classical in the sense that chord changes and tempos were polished and somewhat set, not to say without improvisation; improvisation abounded, but within a pattern that became so comfortable to me.
The changes to this tune are not only gorgeous but very clever harmonically and difficult to improvise over. Check out Ken Hewitt on this tune and Herbie's famous lick. 6:44
Sweet memories of when I was 25 now 60 and worked at an upscale clothing discount store called Grodins.They sold Bally shoes,lizards,alligators,fine mens and women suits.I would get off work Thursday & Friday and go to the Keystone corner for happy hour.Great live jazz with a mellow atmosphere.
this one never gets old....don't know how he did it ;-)......1965...was that the pivotal year...when jazz got a new outfit? Miles recorded ESP, Herbie made Maiden Voyage, there was Wayne Shorter's Speak no Evil...
56👎people must be tone deaf! George Coleman on the tenor🎷 Freddie "Go blow your horn" Horn Hubbard on the 🎺trumpet and Herbie bring black & white (piano keys that is)🎹 together. What's not to love?
All day or night. There is solidity and a sense of peacefulness within each piece he performs. His tenure and development with Miles Davis certainly didn't hurt.
Agree. He brought out the essence of Hancock's great ability to create moods and lyrical content that enhanced a song's ability to shine. He was a prodigy and still is a pleasure to listen to.
Herbie remains a link to the past and to the many fine musicians who travelled the journey with him in the pursuit of excellence. Take another bow, Herbie! You deserve it!
On May 14, 2012(that is yesterday) I saw and heard him at the concert in Moscow. For a ghost he looked quite lively and even spoke to the audience to say nothing about playing.
Freddie!......I met him at the Baked Potato years ago....Carlos Vega was on drums, Nathan East on Bass, Lennie Castro on percussion, David Garfield on keyboard, Steve Lukather on guitar,Brandon Fields on sax ...and Freddie was leaning on the bar watching/listening...Christmas of 86 ...! Cheers !
1965 'DOLPHIN DANCE' CON HERBIE HANCOCK: Uno de los jazz standards que pertenecen al vital pianista/tecladista, y que se ha grabado varias veces: Bill Evans, Chet Baker, Jaco Pastorious entre varios... Me he quedado con mucho aprecio renovado por la 'danza de delfines', pero no he dejado de pensar en los bufeos danzantes del Amazonas 🐬🐬🐬🌄🤔son impresionantes...
There is a nice story about that one. One day, Herbie asked Miles Davis for advice about chord voicing on a tune. Miles said : "do not play the bottom notes". But Herbie heard : "Do not play the *butter* notes"... he was puzzled at first but then he decided to omit 3rds and 7ths as often as possible. It changed his way of playing music forever...
@starfly7 jazz harmony falls under two catagorys-modal or functional. functional fulfuills a purpose ie II-V-l. Modal is a long time based on one chord or scale. some tunes, including Dolphin dance have both elements. however, you can play functional over modal, or modal over functional harmony.
"i've never heard a version of this i didnt like"......have you heard the madlib version, from his shades of blue cd? i ask because its awesome but very different. he fuses this song with horace silver's "peace." that cd is perfect for rainy days and much much more.
In the face of The Beatles and, before that, everything that came out of the USA, these guys perhaps knew that they were fighting to maintain a popular and relevant image via jazz. I think they succeed magnificently and posterity seems to agree with me and them.
Love it but has anyone else noticed that the first few bars are virtually identical to Hoagy Carmichael's Rockin' Chair in E flat? Except that DD starts on 3 and RC starts on 2?
we're going through a shitty transition,but I don't know that you can say that those great times of the past are gone forever. that's a bit too dire,even though it's possible that you could be right.
@adtrrocks1231 I'm learning it at the moment with my teacher, and it just has many key changes... Cm, to G, to Gb, to Eb.... and so on and so forth. amazing tune anyway, and a wonderful challenge for one's self!
This was not his debut album. He had already made 4 albums prior to this. He was also on many Miles Davis albums as well as Donald Byrd albums prior to Miles.
My grandfather played this song 🎵 when I was a kid now I'm 59 years old and I love this song my grandfather showed me jazz
You had a very cool Grandfather.
What effortlessly beautiful changes coupled to otherworld melody. Herbie Hancock is a national (international) treasure.
just transcribed Herbie's first piano solo. It could be a lecture in a jazz theory class, but instead we can just listen to it and sigh.
Huh?
Wow
He played that so we can listen and enjoy. He played for the people not for snobs like u or for lectures. Herbie has soul
My advice to anybody who loves this amazing sounding music is to get as much of the Blue Note catalog as you can. It never gets old!
George Candreva Blue Note is the true note
don't forget verve, riverside, impluse, steeplechase, black jazz, nimbus,
🙏🏽💙🙏🏽
My ears and my mind are smiling when I listen to this music.
My peers said I was listening to strange music because this is the only music I would collect back in the 60's. I loved it so it didn't matter. Stayed out of trouble when I was immersed in jazz and art.
My friends said the same to me in the 80s.... I , too, stayed out of trouble and now all my friends are picking up and listening to jazz..... :)
I can relate to this. Checking out albums from the Lincoln center audio library. Felt good holding the Jazz classics while on the train back home. R. M.
This Came Out 10yrs Before I Was Born...🎶🎶Real 🎼!!
One of the greatest jazz musicians.
Saw Herbie perform this tune in a tour with a fabulous band and still flies on my memory.
When I was in medical school this album got me thru the tough times of constantly studying. Especially the title track.
The power of this music to penetrate to the heart of things.
Judith Bergson
Never enough of this intro.
The tune was made in 1965...
damn....
Currently doing some writing while looping this in the background. This tune is just exquisite in every way.
Agreed....the whole album is exquisite....
@@sohooded So exquisite man
All star group, wonderful talk back and forth, as good as it gets
Herbie's band on this date:
Freddie Hubbard - trumpet
George Coleman - Sax
Bass - Ron Carter
Drums - Tony Williams
Not much more needs to be said!!!
thankyou!! this should be in the description
And George Coleman is far too underrated!
I love this song so much, holy moly
Toujours un plaisir de réécouter cette belle composition et on peux sentir l'influence de Mister Miles Davis nice !
idiot. Aucune influence de Davis ici !

I did too - after school, Canarsie High Brooklyn NY
Love that vibrato on hubbard's trumpet that you only hear in quiet room with good speakers.
Romantic. The piano performance of Hancock is good.
I bought this album somewhere in the 70's and to this day, it still ROCKS!!!! Classic album with an all star cast. And BTW, I still have the original album:)
Good for you! Do you still have a record player?
I think one of the greatest albums ever made. It defines the jazz of 1965
A record player is the only way to go....
Mary Kate Daniiher
Definitely.....even with the minor scratch sounds:)
One my favorite jazz songs
Masterpiece!! Definitely a Peace of mind
Joanne cried when she dirst heard this tune in1965!!! Lover it even today!!!
This song is truly amazing
I've never heard a version of this i didn't like. I dig this tune almost as much as Speak Like A Child. Wonderful changes, wonderful feel.
I was wondering if anyone picked up that the intro music to "Monsters Inc." sounds almost the same.
+s7rugg1es Thats why i felt like i heard this before
More like monsters inc sounds like dolphin dance.
The soloing on monsters inc is just as killing though!!
Adam Chinery Adam dude none of those soloists would ever try to compare themselves to the playing on this seminal jazz side I guarantee. Plus they are just like 15 second solos. I just listened to that rsspectful rip off.
yee
"transcendentally philosophical statement about the nature of music and what it can do"
This album immediately evokes strong nostalgic feelings in me for those marvelous days in New York's East Village, Slug's Saloon Jazz Club, East Third Street, The Old Reliable. We heard the best jazz and had the best times. Sadly those amazing times and music are gone forever.
I'm jealous you were there!
The times may be gone but the music lives on around the world. And I have to believe that there are good times now and will be in the future for jazz - it'll always be alive whether it's in vogue at any given moment or not. So happy for you to have those great memories, I am jealous :-)
Fortunately, Mary Kate, memories of these idyllic moments with the sounds of great jazz can last a lifetime. Hancock, one of the pioneers of jazz, has contributed many fine recordings over the years.
... the changes are indeed wonderful but I think what really makes this tune perfection is the beautiful melody which unfolds over those changes.
I always feel I'm listening to something Miles Davis on this one. Great work by bassist Ron Carter here.
Yes, Ron definitely shines here on bass and Tony Williams does exemplary work on drums. Tony was one of the best drummers of his generation.

Excellence in music. Nuff said.
Of all the jazz pieces that I have learned to play so far with the band I am in on keys, this has been the most difficult!
Such haunting changes... perfection.
The changes to this tune are not only gorgeous but very clever harmonically and difficult to improvise over. Check out Ken Hewitt on this tune and Herbie's famous lick. 6:44
Exciting stuff. Thanks for pointing out that one.
Thanks, will do!
eyy, but I think he develops it more in circles off of miles smiles, the three time and darker harmonic background kinna sets it off
@@klavyamashru6351 one my favourites
One of the most superb albums ever made.
This reminds me of older times. Only jazz song that can make me sad
Sweet memories of when I was 25 now 60 and worked at an upscale clothing discount store called Grodins.They sold Bally shoes,lizards,alligators,fine mens and women suits.I would get off work Thursday & Friday and go to the Keystone corner for happy hour.Great live jazz with a mellow atmosphere.
Herbie's first LP was entitled "Takin' Off", on which he recorded "The Maze"
with Freddie Hubbard and Dexter Gordan, check it out;
There's still great modern music you just have to search a bit
blissful music
back in the 60's jay,rick,jim,and chuck.play this everyday,on 105.1 KBCA. it was great,and a great time.
These men were my "mentors" Rich, Holmes, Gosa and (of course) Be-bop Charlie (Chuck)
Chuck Niles that is .
He was already playin with miles on classic albums since 62...
I just saw Herbie tonight in Akron, OH. Such a brilliant musician!
this one never gets old....don't know how he did it ;-)......1965...was that the pivotal year...when jazz got a new outfit? Miles recorded ESP, Herbie made Maiden Voyage, there was Wayne Shorter's Speak no Evil...
I first heard this when Evans covered it on I Will Say Goodbye.. Hancock is a genius
I love this tune. Thanks for the post.
This is music!
one of hancock's loveliest compositions; hear also the version by the jazz jamaica all-stars.
Very cool casting, signor Lorenzo ! Thanks a lot :)

i still love this tune sooo much. thank you very much for sharing. time to dig out the old albums. cheers from duesseldorf!
On May 14, 2012(that is yesterday) I saw and heard him at the concert in Moscow. For a ghost he looked quite lively and even spoke to the audience to say nothing about playing.
ロマンティック。ハンコックのピアノ演奏はいいですね。
Best jazz line ever written.
Is there a "best"?
nothing written. Ron Carter.
Herbie Hancock: 🎹
Ron Carter: Bass
Freddie Hubbard: 🎺
George Coleman: 🎷
Tony Williams: 🥁
Dude the trumpet solo..
Freddie!......I met him at the Baked Potato years ago....Carlos Vega was on drums, Nathan East on Bass, Lennie Castro on percussion, David Garfield on keyboard, Steve Lukather on guitar,Brandon Fields on sax ...and Freddie was leaning on the bar watching/listening...Christmas of 86 ...!

Maxo - Kirby Hancock. Thank you for the sample
Came from that too (although I already knew this song)
hi, and welcome to jazz club...nice!
Prachtig!
Good Morning Victor
If jazz was written in the terms of The Ten Commandments, this composition would definitely be one of them.
@Blueridian No doubt, Herb's the Lord of Sus

That glasses time
I just knew the version from ahmed jamahl jet, can just sugjest it, but this version is allsaw verry nice for the soul.
Love it but has anyone else noticed that the first few bars are virtually identical to Hoagy Carmichael's Rockin' Chair in E flat? Except that DD starts on 3 and RC starts on 2?

You're so true!
Kero one❤
classic
Part of the melody sounds like part of the Jazz song in Monsters inc
@SlikkTim the funny thing is the changes are really easy but he puts them in a way that makes them awesome
My friend asked me to transcribe this for him
Yaz Band made a cover for this!
Of course I know this!
Truth: Herbie Hancock wrote this song for a men's cologne commercial. It was rejected.He turned it into "Dolphin Dance".
Man now I wanna spray this song on my wrists but I can't.
Trendy for the time
ooooh yes.
I pity the poor, comfortably ignorant masses who will never take the time to realize how beautiful jazz is.
I was enjoying this tune until I read this comment.
Exhibit A of why people hate jazz fans..Jazz is by far my favorite genre but let's be frank, it's an acquired taste
Hubbard solo starts at 1:19
thanks
lovely
ever tried Russel Gunn and St. John ?
Herbie is very much alive. How do these stupid rumors start??
That's for Jazz Musicians
Kickin' head
Monsters Inc. sounds like Dolphin Dance...Dolphin Dance sounds like Rockin’ Chair by Fats Waller...is there another tune before that?
@adtrrocks1231 I'm learning it at the moment with my teacher, and it just has many key changes... Cm, to G, to Gb, to Eb.... and so on and so forth.
