Review

Entertainment Weekly (7/11/97, p.69) - "From Hancock's first stark, compelling acoustic piano notes to Shorter's final taut soprano sax tones, one is struck by the depth of these duets....The music is not always pretty, but it is honest--and strong." - Rating: A
Down Beat (8/97, p.48) - 3 1/2 stars (out of 5) - "The Headhunter meets the Weather Man on peaceful acoustic ground in this intimate, inward looking CD....old Hancock and Shorter fans will enjoy hearing these men find their way back to unmediated musical interplay..."
Vibe (9/97, p.239) - "...Being eclectic is nothing new to veterans Shorter and Hancock, who both went funk/rock/pop in the '70s. These cats are among the two greatest multistyled musicians in the history of jazz..."
Musician (9/97, pp.87-89) - "...Hancock's lushly harmonized pianistics and Shorter's long, liquid lines on soprano sax bathe much of this duo album in muted light....They play together like intelligent friends having a conversation..."

Title Note

Personnel: Herbie Hancock (piano); Wayne Shorter (soprano saxophone).

Recorded at Garage Sale Studios, Los Angeles, California.

"Aung San Suu Kyi" won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition.

Individually, Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter's careers have been among the most innovative and influential in jazz, and their collaborative efforts are considered some of their most important work. As early as their tenure in the legendary Miles Davis quintet of the 1960s the two have cultivated an unusually long-standing and fruitful musical relationship. On 1+1, Hancock and Shorter share their extraordinary musical talents in an intimate duo setting.

The rapport these two musicians have developed is apparent throughout this beautifully conceived album. Hancock's piano colorations blend perfectly with the unsurpassed expressiveness and warmth of Shorter's soprano saxophone. The ten compositions on 1+1 (nine of which were penned by Hancock and/or Shorter) provide an exceptional amount of freedom for the two improvisers. The performances are characterized by subdued, introspective explorations. Brief virtuosic flourishes are balanced by a dramatic use of space. Even the slightly funk-tinged "Hale-Bopp, Hip Hop" is a subtle performance with shifting meters and complex rhythmic underpinnings.
