Depending on what you read, Realization is either an unnecessary straight copy of same era Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock - or it's a well executed rendition of a favorite style. I fall to the latter school, just as I would with prog rock - or with anything else in life. Great ideas don't have to begin and end with one set of people or company, and there's plenty of room for other interpretations. Realization is, in effect, Hancock's band (including himself), with Henderson in full-on Miles mode. And they're going for the deep groove for all of side 1. Whereas side 2 goes into the deep space galaxy as the cover suggests. Easy recommendation for fans of the aforementioned artists.
Ownership: LP: 1973 Capricorn. Single sleeve. White label promo. Found this copy last year (2021) at a local store at a steal of a price ($4).
6/1/21 (LP 2.24); 7/28/22 (new entry)
