Eight of the titles in this set have never been released outside of Japan. This collection of 34 newly-remastered CDs showcases Herbie's virtuosity in a dazzling display of musical styles. It is a testament to his fearlessness, innovation, and ever-evolving curiosity, as well as his significant commercial success--the platinum certifications of Head Hunters and Future Shock. Herbie's influence on countless musicians and musical styles has been and continues to be enormous. The elegant, highly-stylized 200-page book contains an insightful overview essay, complete discographical data, mini-histories of each album, an electronic instrument glossary, and dozens of striking images. The 17 remarkable years captured here find him at his very peak. Includes 3 albums made for Columbia U.S. which have never been on CD - Sunlight, Magic Windows, and Lite Me Up. Contains the only 2 piano trio recordings ever made by Herbie as a leader (both featuring Ron Carter & Tony Williams) + his only solo piano/solo keyboards sessions ever (The Piano and Dedication). Other highlights include Herbie's Mwandishi band (Sextant); the platinum-selling Headhunters period (Head Hunters/Thrust/Flood); his enormously popular, MTV-pioneering Rockit band (Future Shock/Sound-System/Perfect Machine); and historical acoustic jazz recordings featuring Chick Corea, Wayne Shorter, Freddie Hubbard, Ron Carter and Tony Williams among others (the VSOP bands; his duet with Chick Corea; trio recordings with Ron Carter & Tony Williams; and his brilliant solo piano/solo keyboards recordings).

Review: Comprehensive; A Must for Collectors - I pre-ordered this from desertcart. This is the golden egg. Yes, it is expensive, but if you can afford it, buy it. It has a lot of recordings only released in Japan. It goes thru various phases of his career. There is straight ahead Jazz & the Funk period, that made him famous to many. It comes in a nice box, booklet. Read the reviews from those better than I am, & who may go into more depth. This is one purchase I am glad I made. The man of course has played with greats, people playing with him have become or were great. A nice collection, a bit pricey, but consider how many discs are included. Something for every Jazz or music mood. Thank You for taking a moment to read this small review Review: complete satisfaction - Ease of transaction and complete satisfaction with the product. As a Herbie Hancock fan my expectations were totally exceeded. Package contained songs I had always wanted to purchase but was not able for one reason or another. ## Images ![The Complete Columbia Album Collection - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71cX0CQRLsL.jpg) ![The Complete Columbia Album Collection - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vHJOKyX9L.jpg) ![The Complete Columbia Album Collection - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91osx0JoJ3L.jpg) ![The Complete Columbia Album Collection - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91rG8mq-gtL.jpg) ![The Complete Columbia Album Collection - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91HUzpE2dfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive; A Must for Collectors *by R***N on December 11, 2013* I pre-ordered this from Amazon.
