Herbie Hancock’s V.S.O.P. Projects
When Miles Davis retired in 1975, Herbie Hancock assembled Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter, Tony Williams, and many others from Miles’s 1960’s bands. These new units created high art and original compositions, but still in the spirit of Miles’s work. The result was great music that deserves a listen.
