A fresh, modern spark in early ’60s jazz. Takin’ Off blends lyrical piano lines with swinging grooves and subtle soulfulness, hinting at the innovation Hancock would soon bring to the genre. From the buoyant energy of “Watermelon Man” to the album’s cool, elegant flow, it balances accessibility with sophistication. Warm, rhythmic, and effortlessly stylish — a debut that feels confident, forward-looking, and timeless all at once.
