about

The now almost overly-familiar Cantaloupe Island, starts with 4 poignant Herbie Hancock words, while Maclean's piano sets up the groove and tone of the piece as drums and bass pick up on the vigorous activity and jump in. Brownman's improvisatory entrance sets up a track full of a bubbling, infectious energy showcasing some melodic variations and chromatic side-stepping on the head, followed by some inspired solos from Brownman Ali on trumpet and Maclean on piano. Now considered a classic Hancock blend of modal jazz and funk, the tune receives a fresh treatment here.
