Blow-Up (The Original Sound Track Album) - LP

Herbie Hancock: Blow-Up (The Original Sound Track Album) version on vinyl LP in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in Europe in publishing company WaterTower Music in cooperation with Music On Vinyl and Sony Music on 31. July 2015.

"Blow-Up" is a soundtrack composed by HERBIE HANCOCK for Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 film. Musically, the songs evoke the atmosphere of swinging sixties London; the slower tracks evoke a bluesy vibe and the faster tracks a funky jazz vibe. The album features HANCOCK on piano, Freddie Hubbard and Joe Newman on trumpet, Phil Woods and Joe Henderson on saxophone, Ron Carter on bass and Jack DeJohnette on drums. If you believe the rumors, famous musicians Jimmy Smith and Paul Griffin played the Hammond organ here. Rock fans will remember from the film and its fitting soundtrack the rare YARDBIRDS number "Stroll On" (which was actually just a modified version of Tiny Bradshaw's "The Train Kept A-Rollin'"), one of only three songs they recorded with Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page on guitars. The bass line of "Bring Down The Birds" was sampled by DEEE-LITE on the 1990 hit "Groove Is In The Heart", which featured BOOTSY COLLINS.

Album spans genres Rock, Stage & Screen, Jazz, Garage Rock, Soundtrack and Post Bop. 180g Ft. Herbie Hancock Yardbirds Vinyl.
