"Speak Like A Child" occupies a special place in Herbie Hancock's back catalog. A fine mix of deft writing and involved group interplay, it is also among the singular examples of small group arrangement in modern jazz. Here, Hancock's complex, powerful charts interpose some of the most remarkable trio work in the pianist's career. Bassist Ron Carter and drummer Mickey Roker provide a supple, viscous rhythmic backdrop for the pianist's lead lines, while the formidable triptych of fluegelhornist Thad Jones, bass trombonist Peter Phillips, and alto flutist Jerry Dodgion juggle Hancock's tricky melodic material with wit and gusto. Practically all of the solo space belongs to the leader, whose playing here is as eloquent as anywhere else on record; in this unique context, Hancock's improvisations sound liberated, epic. It does not hurt that this album contains perhaps the most fascinating program of compositions on any of the pianist's Blue Note albums.Leone Evangelista
