{"product_id":"fingerpainting-the-music-of-herbie-hancock","title":"Fingerpainting: The Music of Herbie Hancock","description":"\/Nicholas Payton\/Mark Whitfield.\u003cbr\u003ePersonnel: Christian McBride (bass); Nicholas Payton (trumpet, flugelhorn); Mark Whitfield (acoustic \u0026amp; electric guitars).\u003cbr\u003eRecorded from April 6-8, 1997 at Effanel Sound, New York, New York.\u003cbr\u003eMarking the first time Christian McBride, Nicholas Payton \u0026amp; Mark Whitfield have recorded together as a self-contained trio, FINGERPAINTING: THE MUSIC OF HERBIE HANCOCK is as ambitious a project as anything the three musicians have done to date. The 14 songs on this album present a cross-section of Hancock's compositions, from some of his most popular works to some which are relatively little-known. The tunes are chosen from such widely differing Hancock albums as TAKIN' OFF, HEADHUNTERS, MAIDEN VOYAGE, EMPYREAN ISLES and SPEAK LIKE A CHILD, showing the diversity and depth of the composer's work.\u003cbr\u003eThe skill with which the trio covers each groove in this decidedly un-Hancockesque setting (with neither piano nor drums) speaks as much to McBride, Payton \u0026amp; Whitfield's musical virtuosity as it does to Hancock's compositional genius. The ballads are thoughtful and introspective, with guitarist Whitfield moving chord clusters around in a manner reminiscent of the composer, and Payton's beautiful, muted trumpet work exploring the tunes' complex harmonies. Payton's sizzling solos stand out on the hard-bop tunes, and McBride and Whitfield hold down the bottom amazingly well on the funk-tinged numbers.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51093083029791,"sku":"731453785625","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/c3a2bdbcdf3c249ef1c1cc12629fd691_0b6e7153-a977-48fc-9d2c-bf32eb866e2f.jpg?v=1777967274","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/fingerpainting-the-music-of-herbie-hancock","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
