HERBIE HANCOCK- SOLO FROM “DELORES”
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
Here’s a transcription of Herbie Hancock’s solo on the song “Delores” from the Miles Davis record, MILES SMILES, which along with his other recordings from middle and late 60′s, set a standard for post bop jazz that few have matched. the rhythms in the music are similar to styles that preceded these recordings, but most everything else- the group’s approach to melody, harmony, ensemble playing, improvising, etc. has been sublimated. the connections are there but they’re expertly disguised. not quite in but not totally out, this group successfully walked the fine line between order and the void. because of this, these recordings, 50 years later, still taste fresh and creamy. my only gripe about these records is that the horns, almost without fail, step on Herbie’s right hand forays to bring back the melody. i always find myself mumbling, “let him blow, Miles, let him blow…”
