Wednesday, November 30th at 9pm.
The Joan Hickey Sextet will be performing Herbie Hancock’s 1968 recording Speak Like a Child in its entirety.

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
"While Herbie Hancock had been recording brilliant albums for Blue Note since 1961, Speak Like A Child was made right after he left the Miles Davis Quintet and became a very powerful musical force as a bandleader. Speak Like A Child was Hancock’s musical vision, the music that he had dreamed of for years. The tonalities and harmonies were achieved by voicing together the unique frontline of flugelhorn, bass trombone and alto flute, and the results are quite dreamlike. The album welcomes listeners to the magical musical world of Herbie Hancock, a place where catchy melodies co-exist with his adventurous and utterly unpredictable solos, where his pent-up musical desires were finally being let loose, and where the haunting atmosphere is both calming and inwardly passionate."

"A moving, emotionally wrenching tour-de-force, "Speak Like A Child" epitomizes the atmosphere of the album: multifaceted, introspective, and drowning in pathos. For all its virtuosity, the album is truly remarkable for its sheer, ephemeral beauty--a composition in and of itself." -Leone Evangelista

Up Next: One Night in Indy

Wednesday, November 16th at 9pm.
The Larry Brown Jr. Quartet will be performing Wes Montgomery’s newly released 1959 recording One Night in Indy in its entirety.

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
"In 1959, Wes Montgomery sat in with the Eddie Higgins Trio, then featuring drummer Walter Perkins (and also an unknown bassist). Resonance Records arranged for the rights and released One Night in Indy in 2016. Montgomery's star was just beginning to rise -- he recorded two sessions for Riverside in 1958 -- and Higgins established himself as an attraction on the Chicago circuit but, at this time, they were essentially operating on the same level of stardom and, appropriately enough, this date showcases them equally, with Montgomery's rich runs nicely accentuating the elegance of Higgins. The music rolls easy and the appeal is that mellow yet lively interplay, as each leader seems to want nothing more than to play off of the other." -Stephen Thomas Erlewine

  1. "Prelude to a Kiss" (Duke Ellington, Irving Gordon, and Irving Mills) – 5:52
