Herbie Hancock - Flood (Live)

Herbie Hancock - Flood , Sony / BMG Japan (1975) SACD

  I must admit that I still love fusion rock and funk and Hancock's "Flood Live" gives us a lot of both !  With heavy emphasis on "Thrust" and a bit of "Head Hunters" Hancock and his crew deliver a live album of epic magnitude !  I have always loved both Head Hunters and Thrust but clearly this live album takes us into a whole different world and makes these songs come to life in a very different way .   Opening the album is the sole piano solo of Herbie and his opus "Maiden Voyage" which then switches to the funk space fusion material and where we really take off.
