Recorded in June 1964, "Cantaloupe Island" would go on to become one of the most sampled jazz compositions in hip-hop history, most famously when US3 flipped it for "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)" in 1993. The rhythm section here, Carter and the then-17-year-old Tony Williams, represents one of the great underrated partnerships in acoustic jazz, and hearing it cut from the original tapes makes the case for why Blue Note's Classic Vinyl series exists in the first place.


Pianist Herbie Hancock showcased the full breadth of his artistry on his masterful 4th Blue Note album Empyrean Isles recorded in 1964. The album presented 4 diverse original compositions including the hit song "Cantaloupe Island" performed a deeply attuned quartet featuring Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Ron Carter on bass, and Tony Williams on drums. Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
