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
