Description
Herbie Hancock’s Magic Windows (1981) is one of his numerous albums issued in the 70’s and 80’s. During these years Hancock released nearly 2 albums per year. On this jazz fusion album Herbie Hancock plays EMU Polyphonic Keyboard, Clavitar, Prophet 5, Yamaha CS80, Rhodes Piano and a variety of synthesizers, including Minimoog and a Modified Apple II plus Microcomputer, Sennheiser Vocoder ... and much more. There are no strings, brass or other orchestral instruments on this album. Although Magic Windows is a funk album it is also his most pop-oriented album of this period. The album is an enjoyable adventure in synthesized funkness. Herbie starts out with "Magic Number " with lead vocals by Sylvester, but he must have had a vision of the future, playing "Everybody's Broke". In the end he's "Satisfied With Love" as "The Twilight Clone" ends the album on a progressive note with a Talking Heads-like polyrhythmic layer of rhythm. It anticipates the upcoming projects with Bill Laswell. With Laswell as producer and bass-player he recorded the album "Future Shock" which resulted in the number 1 dance single hit Rock It in 1983. If you want to have one CD in your collection covering Hancock’s disco / funk / r&b era, you should choose this one. It shows the talent and ambition that we love Herbie for. A great number of multi-talented musicians collaborated with Hancock on this re-issue of Magic Windows, amongst them are Michael Brecker (Saxopohne), Wah-Wah Watson (Guitar), Ray Parker, Jr.(Guitar), Adrian Belew (Guitar), Sylvester (Vocals), Vicky Randle and Gavin Christopher (Vocals), Paulinho da Costa and Sheila, Pete and Juan Escovedo (Percussion). -
