Product Description

Herbie Hancock's "The New Standard," released on February 19, 1996, under Verve Reissues, is a masterful fusion of jazz traditions with contemporary sensibilities. This album spans a diverse range of jazz genres, including jazz fusion, jazz funk, hard bop, and cool jazz, showcasing Hancock's versatility and innovative spirit. With a runtime of 1 hour and 16 minutes, the album features 12 tracks, each offering a unique blend of intricate melodies and rhythmic complexity.

Hancock reimagines classic songs like "Norwegian Wood" and "Scarborough Fair," infusing them with his signature jazz sensibilities, while tracks like "Manhattan (Island Of Lights And Love)" and "Your Gold Teeth II" highlight his ability to craft original compositions that resonate deeply. The album's dynamic range, from the funky grooves of "Thieves In The Temple" to the poignant balladry of "All Apologies," demonstrates Hancock's mastery of both technical prowess and emotional expression. "The New Standard" is a testament to Herbie Hancock's enduring influence and his ability to push the boundaries of jazz, making it a compelling addition to any music enthusiast's collection.

This 2023 Reissue 2LP set is pressed on 180g vinyl.

Vinyl Jazz Delight

These records sound fantastic, with a quiet vinyl experience. Highly recommend for any Herbie Hancock or jazz enthusiast out there. Though, why go with those cheap paper inners?!
Must-Have Gorgeous Pressing
5 out of 5 stars

Gorgeous pressing from Pallas, quality gatefold too. This is an amazing album, one that everyone should be thrilled to have in their collection. The sound quality is right up there with Music Matters reissues. Dead silent, perfectly flat pressing - I'd love if all my records sounded this incredible. Highly recommend it, it's a must-have.
Fantastic Vinyl Find

Grabbed this at Sunrise Records for half price…This record is fantastic in every way. (Just gave it a quick clean before playing it). I even used headphones for a listen, even more fantastic!!! As a side note, I've bought a bunch of LPs lately and when I check them on DISCOGS, some have bad reviews but mine sound amazing! Probably just a coincidence, maybe?
Third Man's Terrible Pressing
2 out of 5 stars
JolGakuv03920 September 2024United States🇺🇸
Absolute trash. Just what you'd expect from Third Man's pressings. The vinyl's all warped, the mastering's awful with NO dynamic range, and the discs arrive all dirty in paper sleeves. I shelled out $20 CAD for this, and it was way too much. I'd rather not have this record at all than own a copy that sounds this terrible. It's a real shame Third Man's snatching up great re-issues that could be handled by proper companies. Steer clear, folks.
Audiophile Record Quality Issues
3 out of 5 stars
Nzottalc10 February 2024United States🇺🇸
This album is fantastic with excellent sound quality. However, the second LP is a bit bent... Advertising it as an audiophile record but using paper sleeves, that's a bit of a letdown! Record player used: Pro-ject Debut Pro with Mofi Ultratracker pickup.
