Herbie Hancock: The Prisoner (Rudy Van Gelder Remasters)

Herbie Hancock added three more horns to his already rich sounding sextet for this beautifully arranged album that combines the flavor of his "Speak Like A Child" album and the Miles Davis Quintet. Hancock, Joe Henderson and Johnny Coles are the chief soloists. Highlights include "The Prisoner", "I Have A Dream" and Buster Williams's "Firewater".
