Rodrigo Cantillano | HERBIE HANCOCK (1981) - Magic Windows (Full Album) @RodrigoCantillano | Uploaded 7 years ago | Updated 6 hours ago
This is an improvement over Hancock's disco-era productions since at least it is grounded in Herbie's own '70s funk outings ("Chameleon," etc.) instead of generic dance music. Technically, this is an R&B album -- not disco -- with funkier, more flexible rhythm sections, more intriguing electronic instrumental decorations by Hancock, and some first-class instrumental contributions by the Brothers Johnson, the Escovedo family and Michael Brecker. Herbie even gives himself solo breaks on "Magic Number" and "Satisfied with Love" that redeem both tracks and there is a spooky foretaste of techno-pop on "The Twilight Clone." True, this album is still dominated by the R&B vocals of Sylvester, Gavin Christopher and Vicki Randle but Hancock's own sonic signatures make this record listenable.

The album Wave was released in 1967 on A&M Records. An absolutely Masterpiece to be cherished for its absolutely first-rate tunes –actually Miniature Tone Poems– that escaped overexposure and thus Sound Fresh today.
In this album Antonio Carlos Jobim contributes his sparely rhythmic acoustic guitar, simple melodic piano style, a guest turn at the harpsichord, and even a vocal on Lamento, while Claus Ogerman lends a romantically brooding hand with the charts.")
