Product description

"Sunlight" is a captivating album by the legendary Herbie Hancock, released in June 1978 under the Columbia label. This album marks a unique chapter in Hancock's illustrious career, as it features his vocals processed through a Sennheiser VSM-201 vocoder, adding an innovative and futuristic twist to his signature sound. The album spans a variety of jazz genres, including jazz fusion, jazz funk, hard bop, and cool jazz, showcasing Hancock's versatility and genre-defying creativity.

Recorded at The Automatt in San Francisco, "Sunlight" is a testament to Hancock's experimental spirit and his ability to push the boundaries of jazz. The album includes five tracks, each offering a blend of intricate melodies, infectious grooves, and Hancock's distinctive keyboard work. Standout tracks like "I Thought It Was You" and "Sunlight" highlight the album's fusion of jazz and funk, while "No Means Yes" and "Good Question" showcase Hancock's knack for crafting thought-provoking and engaging compositions.

With a runtime of just under 40 minutes, "Sunlight" is a concise yet impactful body of work that continues to resonate with jazz enthusiasts and music lovers alike. This album is a must-experience for anyone looking to explore the innovative and genre-bending work of Herbie Hancock.

This 2017 Reissue LP is pressed on 180g vinyl.

This album has always been a favorite of mine. It's fantastic, especially on 70s vinyl pressings. Just one tiny thing to mention. The final track is TERRIBLE. A quick heads-up!
