Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage (album)
Recorded 60 years ago, today
The Penguin Guide to Jazz designated the album as part of its Core Collection, calling it "a colossal achievement from a man still just 24 years old".
Stephen Thomas Erlewine: "arguably his finest record of the '60s, reaching a perfect balance between accessible, lyrical jazz and chance-taking hard bop".
The album was presented with the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999. [Wikipedia]
