Special editions of two rare Herbie Hancock albums will be released on the US next month via Sony's Legacy label.
First up, 1979's 'VSOP Live Under the Sky', which will feature all of its original tracks plus ten previously unreleased tracks recorded in Tokyo in the year of the album's release.
Second, Hancock's first solo piano release - 'The Piano' - which was previously available only as a limited release in Japan. It includes the tracks 'On Green Dolphin Street', 'Someday My Prince Will Come In' and 'My Funny Valentine' plus four originals improvised on the spot: 'Harvest Time', 'Sonrisa', 'Manhattan Island' and 'Blue Otani'.
