A landmark in Herbie Hancock’s late‑60s evolution, Speak Like A Child expands his post‑bop vocabulary into warmer, more impressionistic territory. Recorded in 1968, the album features Hancock’s lyrical piano at the centre of lush horn arrangements, subtle harmonic shifts and deeply melodic writing.
A beautifully intimate and forward‑thinking session, it stands as one of Hancock’s most elegant Blue Note recordings — a perfect blend of sophistication, soul and modern jazz expression.
