The Prisoner | 1LP (Blue Note Tone Poet Series)
Blue Note, 1969
L’ultimo album (il settimo) del grande Herbie Hancock per l’etichetta blu data aprile 1967, quando negli studi Van Gelder il pianista riunì un folto gruppo (c’erano fra gli altri Buster Williams, Albert ‘Tootie’ Heath, Hubert Laws, Joe Henderson e Jerome Richardson) per un album impegnato: un tributo a Martin Luther King. Hancock disse di The Prisoner: "Con questo album sono riuscito ad avvicinarmi di più al mio vero io che con qualsiasi altro precedente".
