“Cantaloupe Island” (Live, 1985)

[@kwaailight]

Take a bow: Herbie Hancock (piano) Freddie Hubbard (trumpet) Joe Henderson (sax) Ron Carter (bass) Tony Williams (drums)

[@barakados]

Herbie Hancock, Freddie Hubbard, Joe Henderson, Ron Carter and Tony Williams. Who can ask for more?

[@marcoathayde42]

Perfection!!!!

[@DarkeningSkies1]

They could have recorded a hundred albums of original material and I would have ‘em all. If Herbie had used them as his group for all or the eighties and nineties (until Henderson passed) it would have been ideal IMHO.

[@ape2reginaforse504]

……the winds, they are so warm, you wear just a smile. You eat and you love and laugh all the while. But beware the happiness! You will get lost in loneliness. The mist from the sea will hide you away. The game that you play will turn night to day. You´ll be gone for sure, my friend! What a foxy way to end!

How is it that every one of Herbie's iterations of this is a classic?! Each performer absolutely top notch here.

[@billstrohler]

I have been listening to this song multiple times with different lineups the last few days. Each one unique and each one perfect.

Yes excellent version live from Japan. 1991 I believe

[@jamesbozzi1713]

such a classic performance by masters of their craft...the best of the best and what an amazing tune Herbie...LOVE IT !!!

[@raymcmahan5080]

Wow. Just wow. Even 23 years later. I'm just in awe and wonder over this. What I wouldn't give to get into Herbie Hancock's head for a song writing session.

[@paolabriceno2675]

Masterclass with Herbie Hancock is available :)

An improvisation session...

ハービー、ロン、トニーの黄金のリズム隊にフレディとジョーのフロント、素晴らしいの一言に尽きる。

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

This piece just has such an incredibly timeless and really moody riff. I just love it. And there's always such an incredible lightness to the freestyling that totally kills it. It's really hard to not be blown away by it :D ALWAYS puts a big smile on my face.

Herbie Hancock es un gran pianista de jazz y UN TRABAJADOR INFATIGABLE.!! Hace 30 años estaba aburrido por las calles de mi ciudad Huelva (Andalucía, Spain) en un pequeño teatro se anunciaba que en media hora actuaba Herbie Hancock, ERA EL MISMO MÚSICO DE MIS DISCOS DE VINILO.!!!, en una ciudad insignificante para los grandes espectáculos de música. Entré en el pequeño y bonito patio de butacas y únicamente con un piano ante un grupo de aficionados a la música jazz actuó el maestro internacional Herbie en Huelva ¡¡ es un recuerdo imborrable en mi vida. Gracias por ser un trabajador infatigable y llegar hasta mi pequeña ciudad, le deseo lo mejor y grandes éxitos.... 🎹🎼

[@vegaweb1]

Esos pequeños e insignificantes gestos, son los que marcan la diferencias de los grandes entre los grandes. Me alegro que pudieses disfrutar de su directo, y ante tan reducido público, debes sentirte afortunado y agraciado.👍

[@eirarodriguez6035]

Increible, como es posible, despues de tantos anos, todavia hay gente, como Yo, quales gustan la musica de Herbie Hancock?

[@AppleSlicesUnite]

This reminds me of Cliff Huxtable, taking his family to a night club to listen to some good old Jazz. I fell in love with jazz because of that show.

A beautiful work of art, Herbie’s early writing as mentioned in book , the assemble of musicians are like my hero’s , Freddie Hubbard is amazing with high notes , remembering Stanley Clark’s Nubia albums, Toney William’s at his best, Mr Henderson superb sax, and Ella’s bass , coolest, relaxed, playing, love this sound, Bruce Tribe.

Hi message me on hangout [e-mail]

[@judah49]

Leaving room for improvisation. Humble players know when to get out of the way

[@marksilowitz3196]

The Bass line for this song calls for a vamp, nothing more.If you cannot hear Ron Carter's tone, dynamics and phrasing, if it all sounds the same to you, you need a better speakers. Do check out some of Mr Carter's work with Mcoy Tyner, your opinion will change. BTW, there is a 1990 live version of this tune on KZbin featuring Pat Metheney, Jack De Johnette and Dave Holland. Dave mostly vamps through that one also. And Dave Holland is no"normie"

[@josephtravers777]

@@marksilowitz3196 Ron's work is killer. When my bass player passed a couple years ago, I put together a 30 minute slide show w/ Ron's 'Saguaro' for his memorial. I know he was digging it.

Mr. Hernie Hancock. Hi and Good Morning. In 2012, in the central square of Quintero, Chile, in a jazz concert, I introduced myself playing guitar, directing and performing the song “Cantaloupe Islan” that you composed, Mr. Herbie Hancock. On that occasion, I invited the following musicians, Fabián Morales on drums, Víctor Letelier on Electric Bass and Elías Olivares on Saxophone. Whenever I interpret this song it is a very pleasant experience. Sincerely yours, Leonardo Antonio Vera Núñez. (LeoVerA). Musical director, guitarist and Professor. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHe4i32ArL1-qNU Greetings.
