  3. Notes

"Maiden Voyage" is a jazz composition by Herbie Hancock from his 1965 album Maiden Voyage. It features Hancock's quartet – trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Tony Williams – with additional saxophonist George Coleman. It is one of Hancock's best-known compositions and has become a jazz standard.[3]

The piece was used in a Fabergé commercial and was originally listed on the album's master tape as "TV Jingle" until Hancock's sister came up with the new name.[4] In the liner notes for the Maiden Voyage album, Hancock states that the composition was an attempt to capture "the splendor of a sea-going vessel on its maiden voyage".

While being interviewed for KCET TV in 2011, Hancock considered Maiden Voyage to be his favorite of all of the compositions he had written.[3]

Structure

A modal jazz piece, the composition follows a 32-bar AABA form with only two chords in each section:[8]

 A{{smallcaps|mi}}7/D   |   |   |   |   C{{smallcaps|mi}}7/F    |   |   | A{{smallcaps|mi}}7/D   |   |   |   |   C{{smallcaps|mi}}7/F    |   |   | Bb{{smallcaps|mi}}7/Eb |   |   |   |   C#{{smallcaps|mi}}9     |   |   | A{{smallcaps|mi}}7/D   |   |   |   |   C{{smallcaps|mi}}7/F    |   |   |   [4]

The chord voicings used by Hancock make extensive use of perfect fourths. Jazz.com's Ted Gioia describes the harmonic progression used as, "four suspended chords," [10] Jerry Coker describes the progression as "only sus. 4 chords,"[6] while The Real Book lists the chords as four minor seventh chords with the bass note a fifth below the root[12] which matches Hancock's description of the opening chord (right).[4] The Real Book also spells the fourth chord (mm.22-24) as A{{music|b}}-7/D{{music|b}},[12] while Owens spells it C{{music|#}}{{smallcaps|mi}}13.[7] The pitches of C{{music|#}}mi9 (ninth chord) are C{{music|#}} E G{{music|#}} B D{{music|#}} and the pitches of A{{music|b}}-7/D{{music|b}} enharmonically, and C{{music|#}}mi13 (thirteenth chord), are C{{music|#}} G{{music|#}} B D{{music|#}} F{{music|#}} (A{{music|#}}).
