Uploaded by a55b47 on Mar 18, 2008
Hancock & Cochereau -- the two greatest improvisers of the late 20th Century. Each with his own distinctive style.
Recorded in 1976, on the IV/156 Skinner of 1913 (with some revisions over the years by Adams/Mann & Trupiano).

@ny1news - Cochereau could be predictable and bombastic, but Hancock was never as you described.

I have yet to run across anyone who's been associated with Gerre who didn't think he was a prince. That's kind of a nice legacy to have, isn't it? When you add that to his skills as a performer & improviser & choir director, he's a pretty impressive guy.

I remember watching Gerre play in Cincinnati at the Chuch of Christ when I was 12. He was and is the greatest pipe organist I've ever seen or heard. E. Power Biggs... eat your heart out (lol)

And a really nice guy, too (not that Biggs wasn't ;-)

Gerre Hancock: the greatest improviser America has ever produced. If you can find any of his recordings, buy them. The man's a genius -- and a really nice guy, too.
