The record was made at the height of the post-bop moment, when jazz had fully absorbed the lessons of hard bop and modal playing and was beginning to look toward something new, and Hancock's writing here captures that moment of maximum possibility with extraordinary clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album contains one of the most celebrated compositions in the Hancock catalogue: \u003cstrong\u003e\"Cantaloupe Island\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, a four-bar vamp of such rhythmic and harmonic elegance that it has since become a jazz standard of the first order, covered hundreds of times and later sampled to memorable effect by US3 in 1993.

Recorded in March 1965 for Blue Note with a quintet that again included Freddie Hubbard and Ron Carter, with George Coleman on tenor saxophone and Tony Williams on drums, the album was conceived as a suite of compositions unified by the sea as theme and metaphor, each track named for a different aspect of the ocean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title track is one of the most beautiful piano compositions in the jazz canon — a melody built on suspended chords that creates a sense of perpetual forward motion, of weightlessness, of water; it has been covered and adapted by artists from Herbie Mann to the Brand New Heavies and remains a touchstone of the modal jazz approach at its most lyrical. \u003cstrong\u003e\"Dolphin Dance\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e\"The Eye of the Hurricane\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003e\"Survival of the Fittest\"\u003c\/strong\u003e demonstrate equally the range of Hancock's compositional imagination, from hushed intimacy to turbulent intensity.

The film itself, a meditation on image, reality and perception set in the swinging London of fashion photography studios and Carnaby Street boutiques, required a soundtrack that was both credibly of that world and sufficiently idiosyncratic to serve Antonioni's detached, European sensibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHerbie Hancock's jazz score\u003c\/strong\u003e — his first film work — is extraordinary: cool, sophisticated, harmonically advanced music that serves the film's ambiguities perfectly without disappearing into the background.
