Herbie Hancock - Cantaloupe Island download song

another fantastic track in which the bass line contains the meaning of life, the universe and everything

Herbie Hancock — piano Freddie Hubbard — cornet Ron Carter — bass Tony Williams — drums GOD IN HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOLD HERE!!

Ladies and gentlemen As you know we have something special down here at Birdland this evening A recording, for Blue Note records. . .

Does anyone else prefer Herbie's 60's era music over the fusion/synth stuff that came later?

that ride sound...

Coming here from hip hop and electronic music background, i must say Jazz is something else.

Four equally giant performances add to the incomparable whole. Hancock's rhythmic, percussive genius; Hubbard's expressive, soul-baring melodies; Williams' supremely tasty and intricate beats - all held together and driven by Carter, the master of bass. Listen a hundred times and hear something different each pass.

Anyone not getting goosebumps with that trumpet just doesn't feel anything anymore.

Finally I found this song after so many years trying to discover its name (and artist)!

When jazz wanted to be hypnotic, subtle and underlining the sense without imposing aggressively the meanings.....atmospheric instead of asking approval and acceptance from the listeners...not at all popularistic...

That's haunting trumpet, with that swinging piano line, and those almost lazy sounding drums makes this everything a jazz song should be in my opinion.

So "Cantaloop" by Us3 was a remake of this song? I didn't know that.

This song with "Take 5" from Dave Brubeck, big old convertible and take the long road to anywhere....

I'll never understand people who dislike jazz. Its the fruit of music

Everyone listen at the beginning then skip to 4:40 and notice how much faster the tempo is. :P

Cantaloupe Island, Green Onions and Take Five. This is my big three for a good start to the day.

I have this song in Jazz class and I've got to do an improvised trumpet solo near the middle. God help my freshman soul because I have no idea what I'm doing.

The entire album is brilliant. Herbie Hancock is a very gifted human being. And Tony Williams is among the all time great drummers.
